ABSTRACT:
A closure for a container used in hospitals to store and transport items. The closure includes a cable tie with a locking eyelet at one end. The other end of the cable tie passes through an opening in the closure and then locks into the eyelet. The locking eyelet has a retaining element that prevents the removal of the cable end. The cable, when thus secured, prevents an unintentional opening of the closure and therefore an unintentional movement of a lid of the container to an open position. Preferably the closure is a falling latch and the cable passes through an opening in the falling latch. It is also secured around or to other elements to prevent the falling latch from moving to a position where the lid can open.
