Defenders Steel Step Cans: Hands-free, code-compliant containment for infectious waste

Foot-pedal operation and reinforced steel construction for steady, hygienic use

Product Overview:

You need something sturdy that behaves predictably on busy days. You also want hands-free operation and easy bag changes. These step cans comply with OBRA and OSHA standards and quietly manage infectious waste. For clinics, long-term care facilities and busy nurse stations, they work without fuss. Use them where cleanliness is non-negotiable: patient rooms, procedure carts, or isolation areas. Built from steel with a Uni-Koat powder-coat finish and a rigid plastic liner for neat bag support. Picture a tidy corner, lids closing softly and staff less worried about touches, so you can focus on care.

Key Features:

• Hands-free Foot Pedal: Step on the pedal to open the lid without touching it, cutting cross-contamination risks
• Lid-restraint Hinge: Piano-hinged restraint keeps the lid from banging walls, so you hear less clatter and see fewer scuffs
• Durable Steel Body: Steel legs with nylon floor buttons resist wear, so even heavy daily use won't dent your routine
• Bag Retention System: Folding steel retainer bands hold standard 13-gallon bags securely for quick changeouts
• Rigid Plastic Liner: A removable rigid liner keeps liners upright and makes the swap fast, which is handy on busy shifts
