McKesson Prevent® Sharps Container 1.25 Gallon, Horizontal Entry (MPN 2262)

McKesson Prevent® Sharps Container 1.25 Gallon, Horizontal Entry (MPN 2262) is designed for safe, convenient disposal of used sharps at the point of care. With a compact footprint and a horizontal entry opening, it supports efficient drop-in disposal while helping maximize internal capacity—especially for longer items—without taking up excessive counter or cart space.
This container features a tortuous-path safety design, a counter-balanced door lid, and a locking lid to support secure transport when full. The translucent lid allows quick visual monitoring of contents, and the container is nestable for compact storage prior to use—helpful for clinics and facilities that stock multiple units at once.
Constructed from OSHA-compliant, puncture-resistant polypropylene, this single-use sharps container is labeled as not made with natural rubber latex. It is also listed as compatible with certain wall brackets and designed to fit inside the Prevent wall cabinet #2263 (useful if your customers standardize wall-mounted setups).
