Shop our full range of sharps bins and clinical waste containers for the safe disposal of needles, syringes, lancets, scalpel blades and other sharps. Every container in our collection meets BS 7320 and UN 3291 standards, ensuring compliant sharps disposal in GP surgeries, dental practices, hospitals, pharmacies, care homes and community healthcare settings across the UK.
We stock sharps bins from 0.45 litres up to 30 litres, covering everything from individual patient bedside use to busy treatment rooms generating high volumes of sharps waste. All bins follow the NHS colour-coding system: yellow-lidded for sharps contaminated with non-medicinal waste, purple-lidded for cytotoxic and cytostatic sharps, and orange-lidded for sharps contaminated with medicinal products. Choosing the correct colour ensures your waste stream stays compliant with HTM 07-01 guidance.
Our sharps bins feature one-handed temporary closure mechanisms, clear fill-level indicators and robust construction to prevent puncture and leakage during transport. Many models include bracket-mounting options for wall or trolley attachment, keeping bins secure and accessible at the point of use while reducing the risk of needlestick injuries.
Proper sharps management is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013. Always assemble bins before use, never fill beyond the marked line, and lock the permanent closure before placing into the clinical waste stream.

Vena Cava is honored to stand side by side with the NHS in its commitment to providing world-class healthcare. Together, we can build a healthier future for communities across the UK.
