The SHARPSGUARD® yellow theatre bin (129-1047) is designed to be used upright to ease the disposal of long instruments such as staple guns as well as chest drains. It is ideal for theatres, acute medical areas and X-ray departments but is not recommended for high public access areas.

For the SHARPSGUARD® yellow 22 XA bin (129-0722) the 'XA' denotes extra access. This container is designed for the disposal of larger instruments. It has a hands-free hinged door, which can stay open at 45 and 90 degrees, providing a large aperture for the disposal of large instruments with minimum handling.
