Abstract
A mailer for sharp medical waste is comprised of a three-part system. A first part comprises a primary container for receiving the sharps and is puncture resistant and leak-proof. A second part comprises a secondary containment system in which the primary container is received and which prevents breakage of the primary container and also provides a water-tight seal. The third part comprises an outer shipping container which is constructed of a high-strength material and is similar in size and dimension to the secondary containment system, such that the latter fits securely therein. An absorbent material within the secondary containment system is capable of absorbing three times the liquid allowed within the primary container.
