Autoclavable Biohazard Bags 24x30 Inches (61x76cm) - Orange Medical Waste Disposal Bags for Hospitals, Labs & Clinics - Heavy-Duty Sterilization Bags for Biohazardous Materials

Product Description

Biohazard infectious waste is typically collected at the point of generation in such places as hospital laboratory and operating areas, pharmaceutical, biological, university and other related laboratories. The most widely used container of such waste is plastic bags. State regulations demand the proper handling and disposal of such waste. Within these regulations are clear specifications for the film from which such bags are made. In all cases, proper containment of hazardous infectious material requires the bags to meet various strength standards. Individual States regulate separately, resulting in range specifications. All States require a clearly stated need for the bag to resist a specified impact to reduce the likelihood of bursting. Some States go further, requiring a minimum resistance to tearing, so as to reduce likelihood of a puncture, propagating into a major opening.
