Description
The Certol Pro-Tector Infectious Waste Collection Bag gives dental and medical offices a right sized red bag for the waste points that a full size liner overwhelms. The medium 12 gallon format fits operatory and front office receptacles where infectious waste is actually generated.
- Right Sized 12 Gallon Capacity – A medium bag matched to small receptacles means fewer half empty bags pulled early, which cuts waste and cost.
- Red Infectious Waste Identification – The red bag signals regulated waste at a glance, supporting clean segregation at the point of generation.
- Operatory Friendly Format – One hundred bags per case stock every chair and waste point in a typical practice from a single case.
Medium Red Waste Bags for Operatory and Office Waste Points
Regulated waste segregation starts with the bag at the point of generation, and most generation points in a dental or medical office are small. Pro-Tector bags are sized for those points: a 12 gallon medium bag that lines the receptacle beside the chair or in the lab without acres of extra plastic. The manufacturer’s catalog lists the bag at 30 x 24 in with 100 bags per box, so a case covers a practice for months. Staff pull a full bag at the right fill level instead of topping off an oversized liner, which is both a compliance and a housekeeping win. The bags come from the same MicroCare line, under its Spec Clean and Pro-Tector names, that supplies the office’s instrument care products.
Features and Benefits
Point of Use Fit
- 12 Gallon Medium Size – Sized for operatory and front office receptacles, the bag fills properly instead of being pulled half used.

- Flat Pack Supply – Bags store flat in the case, so a fresh bag is always within reach of the waste point.
Practice Economics
- Less Plastic Waste – Right sizing each pull reduces the plastic a practice sends out across a year of waste pulls.
- One Case, Many Points – One hundred bags per case stock multiple rooms without splitting cases across locations.

Why Choose Pro-Tector Waste Bags
Waste bags are a quiet compliance item: the wrong size trains staff into bad habits, and unmarked bags blur the waste stream. Pro-Tector bags are sized and colored for the point of generation, and they carry a manufacturer technical data sheet like the rest of the line. Small disciplines like this are what surveyors notice.
- Segregation by Design – The red medium format makes the regulated stream obvious at every waste point in the office.
- Fill Level Discipline – A bag that fills at the right rate gets pulled on schedule, supporting cleaner waste handling.
- Documented Product – A manufacturer TDS backs the bag, which is more documentation than commodity liners offer.
- Line Consistency – The bags come from the same supplier family as the office’s instrument care products, simplifying vendors.
