Mobile waste collection units with foot-operated positioning, available in stainless steel or plastic with optional illumination and bumper protection.
Kick buckets are mobile waste collection units that surgical staff position by gently nudging with their foot, keeping hands sterile during procedures. The foot-operated mobility lets you reposition waste collection without breaking scrub or contaminating the sterile field. High-quality casters provide smooth, quiet movement around OR tables and equipment.
Stainless steel models withstand repeated autoclave cycles and resist corrosion from blood and irrigation fluids. Plastic versions offer lighter weight for easier repositioning but may require replacement sooner in high-volume ORs. Optional illumination helps staff identify waste types during disposal, with fiber optic systems eliminating electrical hazards near the patient. Bumper guards protect both the bucket and surrounding equipment during transport.
These units typically hold 13-32 quart capacities depending on model. Removable liners simplify waste disposal and cleaning between cases. Some models include foot pedal lids for hands-free operation when staff can’t use the kick function.
