Complete Infection Control Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Biohazard & Medical Waste Bags
Our red infectious waste liners are specifically designed for the safe disposal of biohazardous materials, contaminated dressings, and medical waste. Available in high-density formulations for puncture resistance and clearly marked with biohazard symbols for proper identification.
Soiled Linen Management
Blue soiled linen liners and water-soluble laundry bags streamline laundry operations while protecting staff from contaminated linens. Water-soluble bags dissolve completely in hot water, eliminating the need for direct handling of infectious materials.
Specialty Healthcare Bags
- Yellow Infectious Linen Liners – Color-coded for isolation and infectious disease protocols
- Crash Cart/Drug Tray Security Bags – Tamper-evident seals for controlled medication storage
- Gusset Bags – Expandable design for bulky medical supplies and equipment
- Durable Medical Equipment Covers – Protect oxygen concentrators and other DME during transport or storage
Regulatory Compliance & Color Coding
Healthcare facilities must follow strict infection control protocols. Our color-coded bag system aligns with industry standards:
- Red Bags – Infectious/biohazardous waste requiring special disposal
- Blue Bags – Soiled linens (non-infectious)
- Yellow Bags – Isolation or chemotherapy waste (facility-specific)
- Clear Bags – General medical waste (non-infectious)
Choosing the Right Infection Control Bags
High-Density vs. Linear Low-Density:
- High-Density (HDPE) – Cost-effective, puncture-resistant, ideal for lighter medical waste and linens
- Linear Low-Density (LLDPE) – Superior tear strength, better for heavy or sharp materials
Sizing Guide: Match bag size to waste container volume. Overfilled bags increase puncture risk and handling hazards. Common sizes: 33-gallon (large waste cans), 45-gallon (laundry carts), custom sizes available.

Infection Control Bags: Frequently Asked Questions
What are infection control bags used for?Infection control bags contain and transport contaminated materials in healthcare facilities using a color-coded system: red bags for infectious and biohazardous waste, blue bags for soiled (non-infectious) linens, yellow bags for isolation or chemotherapy waste, and clear bags for general non-infectious medical waste. Hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and long-term care facilities use them to meet OSHA handling requirements and keep staff safe. What is the difference between red biohazard bags and regular trash bags?Red biohazard bags are manufactured specifically for infectious waste, using a thicker gauge material and printed biohazard labeling; regular trash bags have neither. The red color and biohazard symbol signal special handling and disposal requirements to waste management personnel, which regular can liners do not. Should I use high-density or linear low-density medical waste bags?Use high-density (HDPE) bags for lighter medical waste and linens — they are cost-effective and puncture-resistant. Use linear low-density (LLDPE) bags for heavy or sharp materials, because LLDPE has superior tear strength and stretches rather than splitting under load. What size infection control bag do I need?Match the bag size to your container volume — 33-gallon liners for large waste cans and 45-gallon liners for laundry carts are the most common healthcare sizes, and custom sizes are available. Do not size down and overfill: overfilled bags increase puncture risk and make handling hazardous for staff. Can you autoclave medical waste bags?Our high-density polyethylene medical waste bags can withstand autoclaving — check the individual product specifications for temperature ratings before use. Water-soluble laundry bags are designed to dissolve in hot water and should never be autoclaved. Are infection control bags FDA compliant?Yes. Our infection control bags meet FDA food-contact standards where applicable and follow OSHA guidelines for biohazard waste containment, so they satisfy the regulatory requirements most hospitals, clinics, and care facilities are audited against. Do you offer custom sizes or custom printing on medical waste bags?Yes — we offer custom bag dimensions, custom thickness specifications, and facility-specific printing such as your facility name or added warning labels.
