ABSTRACT:
A bio-waste container with integrated needle stop is disclosed. The apparatus includes a catch basin and a waste opening. The catch basin is configured to hold biological and other material, and the waste opening provides an aperture through which such biological and other materials can be deposited in the catch basin during the course of the procedure. The bio-waste container also includes an integrated needle stop apparatus having a cushion layer providing a depository for needles and other sharp tipped objects. The needle stop apparatus further includes a puncture resistant layer which prevents the needles or other sharp tipped objects from penetrating beyond the cushion layer. The needle stop apparatus is secured to the bio-waste container in such a way that it is securely coupled to the bio-waste container during shipping and use, but is selectively removeable from the bio-waste container for separate disposal.
