How do I handle bloody gauze or red bag medical waste?
The generally accepted standard for identifying medical waste is to answer the following question: “Is the item saturated to the point where it would drip if compressed?” If the answer is “no,” the waste is not considered biohazardous, and may be disposed in your regular trash. If your office does generate medical waste, Isolyser/SMSm Red Bag disposal products are your best option for disposal. Order from your supply company and follow directions included with each kit.
