44-Gallon Red Infectious Waste Liners - Medical-Grade Biohazard Disposal
These 44-gallon red infectious waste liners from LK Packaging provide compliant, heavy-duty containment for regulated medical waste. Manufactured from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), these liners deliver superior puncture and tear resistance compared to standard LDPE bags—critical protection when handling sharps, contaminated materials, and biohazardous waste in healthcare, laboratory, and industrial settings.
Specs: 44 gallon | Linear Low Density (LLDPE) | Red with biohazard symbol | Star-sealed bottom | Meets ASTM D1922 (480g tear) & D1709 (165g impact)
Regulatory Compliance
LK Packaging biohazard liners meet federal and state regulations for infectious waste disposal, including required tear resistance of 480 grams (ASTM D1922) and impact resistance of 165 grams (ASTM D1709). Each bag displays the universal biohazard symbol with warnings printed in both English and Spanish, ensuring proper identification and handling throughout the waste stream. The bright red color provides immediate visual identification as required by OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards.
Commercial Applications
These 44-gallon biohazard liners serve multiple regulated waste environments. Hospitals and medical clinics use them for patient care areas, surgical suites, and isolation rooms. Laboratories rely on them for biological specimen disposal and contaminated equipment. Dental offices, veterinary clinics, and dialysis centers require compliant red bag disposal for blood-contaminated waste. Funeral homes, tattoo parlors, and research facilities also depend on properly rated infectious waste liners to maintain compliance and protect workers throughout the waste handling chain.

Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between LLDPE and regular LDPE biohazard bags?
A: Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) has a different molecular structure that provides significantly better puncture and tear resistance than standard LDPE. This is critical for infectious waste that may contain sharps, broken glass, or other items that could pierce the bag and expose handlers to contamination.
Q: Do these liners meet OSHA and DOT requirements for infectious waste?
A: Yes. These liners meet federal and state regulations including ASTM D1922 tear resistance (480g) and ASTM D1709 impact resistance (165g). The red color and biohazard symbol meet OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard requirements for infectious waste identification.
Q: What size container fits a 44-gallon liner?
A: These liners fit standard 44-gallon round or square receptacles commonly used in healthcare facilities. They provide adequate overhang for secure rim attachment and hands-free closure after filling.
