Abstract
A system for the disposal of medical waste comprises a sharps container (12) and a nonsharps container (14). The sharps container (12) is interconnected to the nonsharps container (14) for convenience. The sharps container (12) has an open end (18) with a semitortuous path therethrough which helps retain sharps within the sharps container (12). The nonsharps container (14) may also include an attachment holder (16 or 17) which is engaged thereon. A header (20) is positioned in an open end (22) of the nonsharps container (14). Medical nonsharps are disposed of by depositing them within the nonsharps container (14) through the header (20).
