Saxsons™ Sharps Container ShieldLead-Shielded Sharps Disposal for Hot-Lab Bench-Mount or Recessed Worktop
Saxsons own-brand sharps container shield range for safe disposal of contaminated needles and dispensed-syringe sharps after radiopharmaceutical handling. A configurable shielding-tier ladder covers the dispense-energy range from routine SPECT through I-131, routine PET (FDG / Ga-68) and high-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic disposal. Magnetic top-cap closure allows one-handed sharps deposit with minimal handling time; the hinged lid opens at the scheduled disposal step. Lock-secured against unauthorised access. Stainless-steel outer finishes for the daily wet wipe-down routine, or painted mild-steel for cost-optimised builds. Cylindrical, rectangular and square form factors — picked per the hot-lab worktop layout (recessed slab-mount or bench-top). Designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. Sign in to view the full configuration matrix.

Applications
Shielding tier matches the dispense-energy of the radiopharmaceutical the sharps came from
Tc-99m SPECT sharps disposal
Routine SPECT-tier shielding for the bench-side sharps container across cardiac, oncology, renal and hepato-biliary lists. Cylindrical recessed-mount on the dispense bench keeps the deposit hand-motion natural and brief.
I-131 thyroid-iodine sharps disposal
Stepped-up tier for I-131 capsule prep and ablation dispensing — matched to the I-131 364 keV photopeak.
FDG / Ga-68 PET sharps disposal
Routine PET-tier shielding for typical per-shift activity (25–40 unit doses). Recessed cylindrical mount on the dispense L-bench worktop.
Lu-177 theranostic-suite sharps disposal
High-activity tier — for per-patient PRRT / PSMA-617 / FAPI prep where the per-shift cumulative is highest and the per-dispense activity (~ 7.4 GBq) drives the tier selection.
High-throughput PET radiopharmacy
High-activity tier for 30+ FDG dispenses per shift — cumulative activity over the shift drives the dose-rate at the container outer surface, which the tier is picked to keep comfortably within budget.
AERB chain-of-custody compliance
Lock-secured container; access events documented per the radiation-safety-officer SOP. Pairs with the Saxsons shielded storage cabinet for post-disposal hold + decay-store routing.
Why Saxsons™ Sharps Container Shield?
The operator opens the lid with one hand while holding the contaminated sharps with the other. A magnetic closure means the lid swings open with the lightest finger pressure and closes itself when released — minimising the time the hand spends over the open chassis.
Sharps containers carrying high-activity Pb-shielded contents (PET, Lu-177) need a lock between dispense shifts to satisfy AERB chain-of-custody documentation. The integrated lock + scheduled-key access pattern lines up with the radiation-safety-officer SOP.
The sharps container sits within metres of the dispense bench — the dose-rate at the outer surface is what the operator absorbs across the shift. Picking the shielding tier that matches the dispense radiopharmaceutical keeps the cumulative annual dose inside the AERB / ICRP envelope.

FAQ
Shielded sharps container — questions we hear from Indian NM hot-lab teams
Why unshielded sharps bins accumulate proximity dose, how to pick the Pb tier per isotope, bench-mount vs recessed worktop mount, and how the sharps container pairs with post-disposal storage cabinets.
Q.Why does a hot lab need a shielded sharps container rather than a standard biomedical-waste sharps bin?
Standard sharps bins are unshielded — every syringe dropped into them carries residual activity (Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, Lu-177 traces from the injection or dispensing) into the bin. As the bin fills, the ambient dose rate around it climbs. On a routine PET day the bench-side sharps bin can become the highest-dose-rate point on the bench. A lead-shielded sharps container attenuates that residual activity so the technologist working next to it doesn't accumulate proximity dose across the shift.
Q.What Pb thickness fits which department workflow?
The Saxsons Sharps Container Shield ships in multiple Pb tiers matched to the workflow — light Pb for routine SPECT (Tc-99m residuals), mid Pb for I-131 and mixed SPECT+PET, heavy Pb for high-activity PET / theranostic residuals where the bin holds Lu-177 or Y-90 syringe traces. Picking the tier against the isotope mix keeps the container ergonomic without over-shielding.
Q.When to pick bench-mount vs recessed worktop mount?
Bench-mount for retrofit into an existing hot-lab worktop — the container sits on the bench and the technologist drops sharps in through the top opening. Recessed worktop for new hot-lab builds — the container drops into a cutout in the worktop so the opening is flush with the bench surface. Recessed keeps the workflow one-handed (no reaching up to a shoulder-level bin); bench-mount is simpler to install into an existing lab.
Q.What about post-disposal hold — does the shield handle the full waste chain?
No — the sharps container holds the immediate dispensing-line residual; post-disposal the sharps go into a compatible storage cabinet (4 / 10 / 50 mm Pb tiers) for the decay hold before biomedical-waste transfer. Saxsons supplies matching storage cabinets and the decay drum family so the full shielded chain from bench to biomedical-waste disposal is covered end-to-end.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied container or Saxsons-manufactured?
The Sharps Container Shield is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. The Pb tiers, mount options (bench / recessed) and matching storage-cabinet compatibility are engineered for the sharps-disposal workflows of Indian NM hot labs.
