Abstract
Disclosed is a protective carrying apparatus of puncture-resistant material sides which mates with medical waste containers. The apparatus acts as a barrier between the person handling the medical waste container and contaminated sharp objects which may protrude through the container. The apparatus may be readily employed in hospital and health care waste handling programs to provide a prophylactic protection against the transmission of infection or injury due to contaminated sharp objects which may be inside medical waste containers.
