Sharps container, a process of manufacturing the sharps container, and a method of storing sharps in a container

摘要

A sharps container, a process of manufacturing thereof, and a method of storing needles are disclosed. The sharps container utilizes a blocking member which does not interfere with a needle being inserted into the sharps container, and a latch mechanism which does not require a protruding tab. The latch mechanism requires at least a dual action to open the sharps container, and limits the movement required for opening the sharps container.
