Description
The BD Patient Room Sharps Container Side Entry is a 5.4 quart patient room sharps container whose lid takes sharps through a side-entry opening. It serves inpatient units that prefer the side-entry lid format for point-of-care sharps disposal.
- Side-Entry Slot – the opening in the lid's top takes sharps from the side, the feature BD's photograph of this reference shows
- Patient Room Format – 5.4 qt room-scale capacity in the red sharps body
- Carrying Handle – the white handle simplifies full-container exchange
The Side-Entry Variant of the Patient Room Container
BD's patient room range offers the lid two ways, and this reference is the side-entry way: a slot in the top that receives sharps laterally. That entry geometry suits placements where the approach to the container is from the side, as wall and cabinet mounting often dictate. The container beneath the lid is the familiar format: red 5.4 qt body, yellow BD sharps label and a white carrying handle. Its photograph differs from its door-lid sibling exactly where it should, at the lid, which is how the two references are told apart. Twenty containers come in each case for ward-level stocking.

Why Units Standardize on One Entry Style
Mixed lid styles across a ward create small hesitations at the worst moment. A unit that picks one entry geometry gets one disposal habit. This reference serves the units whose habit is side entry.
- Placement Flexibility – side entry suits wall and cabinet positions where top access is awkward
- One Habit Per Ward – stocking one entry style keeps disposal automatic for every staff member
- Easy Exchange – the handle makes the full-container swap a one-hand carry
- BD Sharps Line – the container belongs to BD's sharps management range, matched to its mounting hardware
