2 Gallon Red Infectious Waste Liners - LLDPE Biohazard Bags by LK Packaging
These 2 gallon red infectious waste liners provide reliable containment for regulated medical waste in clinical and laboratory settings. Manufactured from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), these bags deliver superior strength and puncture resistance compared to standard low-density alternatives. Each bag features the universal biohazard symbol with warnings printed in both English and Spanish.
Specs: 2 Gallon Capacity | LLDPE | Star Seal Bottom | Red with Biohazard Symbol | Bilingual Warnings | ASTM D1922/D1709 Compliant
Regulatory Compliance
These infectious waste liners meet federal and state regulations for medical waste containment. Testing confirms 480 grams tear resistance per ASTM D1922 and 165 grams impact resistance per ASTM D1709. The star seal bottom construction eliminates weak points along the seam, preventing leaks during handling and transport of potentially hazardous materials.
Commercial Applications
The 2 gallon size serves smaller waste streams and point-of-care collection in healthcare facilities. Medical offices, dental practices, and veterinary clinics use these bags for sharps container liners and small biohazard waste receptacles. Laboratories rely on this size for workstation waste collection. Tattoo parlors, blood banks, and dialysis centers also require compliant red bag disposal for regulated medical waste.

Common Questions
Q: What waste goes in red infectious waste bags?
A: Red bags are designated for regulated medical waste including blood-soaked materials, pathological waste, contaminated sharps (in approved containers), and items contaminated with potentially infectious agents. Check your state regulations for specific classifications.
Q: Why choose LLDPE over standard LDPE biohazard bags?
A: Linear low-density polyethylene offers superior puncture resistance and tensile strength. This matters when handling sharps containers or waste with rigid edges that could pierce standard bags during transport.
Q: Are these bags autoclavable?
A: These bags are designed for containment and transport, not autoclaving. For steam sterilization applications, use bags specifically rated for autoclave temperatures.
