MEC Lead Sharps Container

The Lead Sharps Container is a heavy-duty radiation safety solution designed for the safe disposal of radioactive sharp waste in nuclear medicine, radiology, and radiation handling facilities. It functions as a shielded dustbin for contaminated sharp objects such as syringe needles with high energy isotopes such as I-131, cannulas, and other radioactive sharps, ensuring maximum protection for personnel and the surrounding environment.
 
Manufactured with high-density lead shielding, the container effectively attenuates radiation emissions from stored waste, significantly reducing exposure risks during routine disposal and waste handling. Its compact yet robust design makes it suitable for placement in hot labs, injection rooms, and controlled radiation areas.
 
A secure top lid with a dedicated sharps drop opening allows safe, hands-free disposal while minimizing radiation leakage and preventing accidental access. The container is built for long-term use and easy integration into existing radiation safety workflows.
