Description
The BD Patient Room Sharps Container is a 5.4 quart next generation sharps container for patient rooms, with a counterbalanced door lid and a carrying handle. It serves inpatient units that mount sharps disposal at the point of care in every room.
- Counterbalanced Door – the wide flip door opens for sharps entry and settles closed on its balance
- Patient Room Format – the 5.4 qt size is the room-scale format in BD's sharps range
- Carrying Handle – the white handle makes full-container exchange a one-hand carry
Room-Scale Sharps Disposal with a Door That Closes Itself
Point-of-care disposal only works when the container is where the sharp is used, which is why this format is sized for the patient room itself. The counterbalanced door is the working detail: it flips wide for entry, then its balance brings it back to closed without a second touch. That self-closing habit matters in rooms where the person disposing is also watching the patient. The red body carries the standard yellow BD sharps label, and the handle turns the full-container swap into a simple carry. Twelve containers come in each case, the restock unit for a ward's rooms.

Why the Door Design Decides Room Compliance
A sharps container that needs two hands and attention to close will be found open. One that closes on its own balance gets used correctly by default. That is the entire argument for the counterbalanced door, and it is a strong one.
- Self-Closing Habit – the balanced door returns to closed after each deposit
- Right-Sized for Rooms – 5.4 qt fits room placement without dominating the wall or counter
- Easy Exchange – the handle makes full-container swaps quick on the ward round
- BD Sharps Line – the container belongs to BD's sharps management range, matched to its brackets and cabinets
