PK383.8 L medical waste bucket PK38 by HTI
For outpatient clinics

3.8 L medical waste bucket

Model: PK38 · HTI medical buckets

A yellow or red 3.8 liter polypropylene bucket for medical waste, used needles, and disinfectant wipes. It has a plastic handle and comes with a lid, and an OPEN tamper-evident tear strip is molded into the body. We make it in Bishkek and supply outpatient clinics and hospitals in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

Specifications

3.8 L bucket specifications

The 3.8 liter medical bucket uses the same body as the food-grade bucket of this size, so dimensions, capacity, and units per pallet are identical for both versions. The difference is the color and the handle. Here the body is yellow or red, and the handle is plastic only, so the bucket has no metal at all.

The 3.8 liter nominal capacity is the working fill level; filled to the brim (ISO), the bucket holds 4.1 liters. The extra three hundred milliliters at the top leave room for the lid to close without pressing on the contents. The body is narrow and tall, so you can easily see the fill level when you look into the open bucket.

Purchase estimate

How many buckets you get in one or more pallets

Unlike food buckets, medical buckets are counted by capacity, not by product. We don't say how many syringes or needles fit in one bucket: that depends on what each room collects and how. But it's easy to work out your order from the number of pallets. The table uses catalog figures: 2,800 pcs per pallet, 3.8 liters nominal, 4.1 liters brim-full, and 110 grams per empty bucket.

Pallets per orderBucketsNominal litersBrim-full litersEmpty bucket weight

38,40031,92034,440924 kg
514,00053,20057,4001,540 kg

The last column is the empty packaging weight from the catalog, not including pallet wrapping. Use it to check the load on a truck or on a storage rack in your clinic's supply room. The order cost is not based on weight; your sales manager quotes it.

Applications

Typical uses for the 3.8 L bucket

Almost four liters is the right size for rooms that produce little waste per shift but must keep it separate: treatment rooms, vaccination rooms, blood collection points, and wound-dressing rooms at district hospitals. The top is only 200 millimeters across, so the bucket fits on the edge of a work table or on a cart without blocking the way.

Clinics and family medicine centers

Family medicine centers and city outpatient clinics place small containers in every room where injections are given. The narrow body stays out of the way at a crowded workstation.

District and regional hospitals

For hospitals in district centers of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, dense packing pays off: 2,800 buckets per pallet, so stock for several departments takes little warehouse space.

Used needles

Our catalog names this use directly. The five-gram plastic handle lets staff carry out a full bucket without removing the lid or touching the contents.

Wipes and Class B waste

Two body colors let a facility separate different waste streams into their own containers, following its own procedures. Our catalog also lists the bucket for disinfectant wipes.

What's included

Lid, handle, and medical bucket labeling

Lid

Ships with the bucket. The yellow body comes with a yellow lid that has a round red panel in the center. The red body comes with an all-red lid.

OPEN seal

A tamper-evident tear strip with the molded word OPEN sits on the body. If it has been torn off, the bucket has already been opened, and you can tell without checking the contents.

Metal-free handle

A 5.0 gram plastic handle. No size in the medical lineup has a steel bail handle.

Decoration

Clinic name, department, a field for the date: all of this goes on a label. It is applied to the finished bucket, so the text can change from one order to the next.

Food-grade version

A food-grade bucket with the same body

The same 3.8 liter body is also made for food products: white, with a choice of handle. If your hospital needs packaging for its kitchen or cafeteria rather than for waste, see the food-grade page.

  • 200 mm top, 176 mm height, and 2,800 pcs per pallet, same as the medical version
  • 13.4 g steel bail handle or 5.0 g plastic handle
  • White body for labels; a clear version is also available
  • Our catalog lists mayonnaise, honey, pickles, and emulsion paint

Neighbors in the medical lineup: 3 L and 5.6 L

The HTI medical lineup comes in nine sizes: 1, 2.3, 3, 3.8, 5.6, 11.2, 11.5, 18, and 21 liters. The closest to 3.8 liters are the three-liter and 5.6 liter buckets. The three-liter bucket shares its top diameter and pallet quantity; the 5.6 liter bucket differs in width and in units per pallet.

If your supply room is small, 3.8 liters beats the three-liter size: the pallet takes the same floor space but holds 2,240 more liters. The 5.6 liter bucket adds another 112 liters per pallet, but it is 24 millimeters wider, and a pallet holds 1,920 of them instead of 2,800.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about 3.8 L buckets

Didn't find your answer?Our sales manager replies Mon-Fri, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Bishkek time

Our catalog lists medical waste, Class B waste (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification), used needles, and disinfectant wipes. Each facility decides how to sort and label its waste under its own rules.

No. The body is polypropylene and the handle is plastic, weighing 5.0 grams. The medical bucket has no steel bail handle.

By the color of the body and lid. The yellow bucket closes with a yellow lid that has a round red panel in the middle; the red one with an all-red lid. Dimensions, capacity, and weight are the same.

By the seal. An OPEN tear strip is molded into the body, and if it's missing, the lid has already been removed.

Both have a 200 millimeter top and 2,800 pcs per pallet, but the 3.8 liter bucket is 39 millimeters taller. So a pallet holds 10,640 liters instead of 8,400, and each liter of capacity takes 28.9 grams of plastic versus 31.7.
