Product Information
Full details
The Teqler Sharps Bin (Yellow) is designed for healthcare professionals and laboratories requiring a safe and secure method for disposing of sharp and pointed medical consumables. Its primary benefit is the puncture-proof construction, ensuring maximum safety against accidental punctures from items like cannulas and scalpel blades. A potential caveat for some users might be its large 22L capacity, which could be excessive for very low-volume settings. This durable container features a leak-proof, odor-proof, and permanently lockable lid, a built-in stripping device for used cannulas, and a stable, stitch-proof body with a carrying handle for easy transport.

Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to open or close
Ensure no sharp objects are obstructing the lid mechanism. If the lid is not locking into the open position, verify it is fully engaged. If attempting permanent closure, ensure it is firmly pushed to the locked position.
Container appears damaged or compromised
Do not use a damaged sharps container. Dispose of it immediately and safely according to waste disposal guidelines, and replace it with a new, intact container.
Odors are still noticeable
While designed to be odour-proof, very high volumes or certain types of waste may produce residual odours. Ensure the lid is always closed when not actively disposing of waste and that the container is not overfilled. Permanent closure and timely disposal are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Teqler Sharps Bin requires minimal setup. Unpack the container and ensure the lid mechanism is functioning correctly. The primary setup involves opening the lid to its ready-to-use position.
Compatibility: This sharps container is compatible with a wide range of sharp medical instruments, including hypodermic needles, syringes with attached needles, scalpels, lancets, and other disposable sharp medical waste. It is designed for single-use disposal.
Care: This is a single-use disposable product and is not intended for reuse. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the container.

Keep the container in a stable, upright position during use and transport. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
