Saxsons own-brand sharps container shield range for safe disposal of contaminated needles and dispensed-syringe sharps after radiopharmaceutical handling. Lead tiers cover the dispense-energy range: 3 mm for routine SPECT, 6 mm for I-131 work, 12 mm for routine PET (FDG / Ga-68), and 25 mm for high-activity PET and 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. SS 202 standard outer, SS 304 clean-room outer, MS painted cost-optimised. 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.

Lead tier matches the dispense-energy of the radiopharmaceutical the sharps came from
3 mm Pb tier — routine SPECT bench-side sharps container for cardiac, oncology, renal, hepato-biliary lists. Cylindrical recessed-mount on the dispense bench keeps the deposit hand-motion natural and brief.
6 mm Pb tier for I-131 capsule prep and ablation dispensing. The 364 keV gamma calls for the step-up from the SPECT routine 3 mm baseline.
12 mm Pb tier covers routine PET dispense at typical per-shift activity (25–40 unit doses). Recessed cylindrical mount on the dispense L-bench worktop.
25 mm Pb tier — for per-patient PRRT / PSMA-617 / FAPI prep where the per-shift cumulative is highest and the per-dispense activity (~ 7.4 GBq) makes 25 mm the right tier.
25 mm tier for 30+ FDG dispenses per shift — cumulative activity over the shift drives the dose-rate at the container outer surface; 25 mm keeps the operator-side dose comfortably within budget.
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.
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 lead tier that matches the dispense radiopharmaceutical keeps the cumulative annual dose inside the AERB / ICRP envelope.
Variant matrix
Twelve sharps-container configurations from the Saxsons range. The build sheet matches the lead tier to the radiopharmaceutical class, the form factor to the worktop layout and the outer material to the cleaning protocol.

Accessories + form factors
| Accessory / option | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Magnetic top-cap closure | One-handed swift open / close during sharps deposit; minimises time spent handling contaminated sharps |
| Hinged lid for sharps removal | Easy access for emptying the full container at the scheduled disposal step |
| Lock for security | Prevents unauthorised access between dispense shifts; AERB sharps-disposal chain-of-custody compliance |
| Cylindrical · rectangular · square form factors | Cylindrical sits in a worktop cutout (recessed mount); rectangular and square sit on top of the bench surface — pick per the hot-lab layout |
| Recessed worktop mount | Sharps container sits flush with the bench surface — sharps drop straight in without lifting; pairs with Saxsons Dose Cabinet / L-Bench worktop |
| SS 202 / SS 304 / MS painted outer | Same lead-shielding mass inside any outer; the choice is on the cleaning protocol — SS 304 for daily wet wipe-down, MS painted for cost-optimised builds |
| Compatible storage cabinet variants (4 / 10 / 50 mm Pb) | Storage cabinets for sharps post-disposal hold — pair with the sharps container for end-to-end shielded handling |
