Medical Waste Solidification Bottles
Speed, Convenience, and Safety:
Consistently managing patient flow, maximizing OR personnel's time and maintaining a safe work environment is challenging but critical to overall success of a hospital OR.
One of the key, and often overlooked, elements to improve OR effectiveness is to reduce surgery clean-up time. Part of surgery clean-up involves safely managing and disposing of suction canister waste in a timely manner.
In many cases properly handling and disposing of suction canister waste can take more than 30 minutes using a traditional suction canister solidifier. Any process that takes more than 5 minutes is too long and can disrupt patient flow.
ZapLoc's unique particle size dramatically reduces the time it takes to completely solidify and dispose of liquid medical waste. It takes 4 minutes or less!

ZapLoc is the most cost-effective suction canister solidification agent on the market today. By using ZapLoc's medical waste solidification bottles, you can be assured that the time and expense associated with suction canister waste removal will be significantly reduced.
Easy To Use Waste Solidification Bottles:
ZapLoc is easy to use - you can pour your ZapLoc waste solidification bottle into the suction canister before or after it is filled. Your medical waste will be solidified, regardless of when you pour it in.
Multiple Sizes:
ZapLoc waste solidification bottles come in convenient sizes for easy use:
- 500 cc

Disposal of Suction Canister Waste:
Off-site treatment and disposal of medical waste is expensive. The US Department of Transportation requires that all liquid wastes be solidified prior to disposal. Using ZapLoc medical waste solidification bottles ensures that your liquid waste will be handled in accordance with DOT regulations.

New Regulations on Medical Waste Removal
New regulations prohibit the disposal of suction canister liners unless the contents have been solidified prior to disposal. The correct use of ZapLoc ensures that medical waste contained in suction canister liners will be solidified and disposed of without the need for expensive rigid containers or wrapped in absorbent material.
