ABSTRACT:
The container is optionally useful for transport of new sharp medical instruments, and for disposal of used sharp medical instruments. The container includes a pair of top flaps, a first of which pivots relative to the other. The second flap is selectively fixed to the body of the container to limit the opening to the interior of the body when the container is to be utilized for disposal of used sharp medical instruments. The second flap is typically not secured during transport such that it may be moved to provide a relatively large area or opening for insertion or removal of the new medical instruments. Several embodiments of the invention provide closure tabs at the ends of the second flap which are engageable with closure elements carried by the end walls of the container body to fix the second flap and to permit only a restricted opening into the interior of the container for the insertion of used sharp medical instruments.
