Description

Key Features:

  • High Visibility: The bag's bright red color serves as a clear and immediate visual warning, indicating that the contents are potentially infectious or hazardous. This is a universal color-coding standard in medical facilities for biohazardous waste.

  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from a strong polyethylene material, these bags are designed to be tear and puncture-resistant, ensuring the safe containment of sharp or irregular objects that may be present in medical waste.

  • Clear Labeling: The bags are pre-printed with the universal biohazard symbol and warnings in both English and Spanish. This ensures that the nature of the waste is clearly communicated to handlers, reducing the risk of accidental exposure.

  • Appropriate Size and Thickness: With dimensions of 25 x 30 inches and a thickness of 1.8 mil, these bags are suitable for lining medium-sized waste receptacles, typically in the 12-14 gallon range. The thickness provides a reliable barrier against leakage of contaminated fluids.

  • Regulatory Compliance: These bags are designed to meet federal and state regulations for the containment of biohazardous waste, including OSHA standards for the handling of bloodborne pathogens.

Primary Uses:

The primary use for the Medical Action Industries 844 biohazard bag is for the collection, transport, and disposal of regulated medical waste. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Infectious Waste: Items contaminated with blood, body fluids, or other potentially infectious materials.

  • Pathological Waste: Tissues, organs, and other biological materials from surgical procedures or autopsies.

  • Contaminated Sharps: Although sharps are typically placed in rigid containers, these bags can be used for the disposal of the entire sharps container.

  • Laboratory Waste: Cultures, stocks of infectious agents, and other waste from medical and pathological laboratories.

  • Dialysis Waste: Tubing, filters, and other materials from dialysis treatments that are saturated with blood.

These bags are indispensable in a wide range of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, dental offices, veterinary practices, and long-term care facilities, to ensure the safe and compliant management of hazardous medical waste.
