For Pathology and Laboratory Staff

• Both sizes suit tissue specimen disposal after examination and testing.
• Leak-resistant construction protects against fluid contamination during storage awaiting collection.
• Orange colour coding ensures correct segregation from general laboratory waste.
• Durable material allows temporary storage in specimen fridges without degradation.

For Facility Managers and Procurement

• Two size options cover the full range of anatomical waste applications without excess inventory.
• Consistent orange colour coding across both products supports facility-wide compliance.
• Carton quantities of 50 and 100 balance storage space with procurement efficiency.
• Sydney warehouse stock ensures reliable supply without long lead times.
• Single supplier for both maternity and surgical anatomical waste bags reduces vendor complexity.

Maternity Wards and Birthing Suites

• Placenta collection following caesarean sections in operating theatres.
• Umbilical cord and membrane disposal from deliveries.
• Products of conception from early pregnancy loss management.

Operating Theatres and Surgical Units

• Amputated limbs and digits from trauma and elective surgery.

• Organs and tissue from transplant and surgical procedures.
• Biopsy specimens after examination and diagnosis.
• Surgical specimens awaiting pathology collection.

Pathology and Diagnostic Laboratories

• Tissue specimens after histological examination.
• Organ samples following post-mortem examination.
• Anatomical material from teaching and research activities.
• Specimen disposal after retention periods expire.

Veterinary Clinics and Hospitals

• Animal tissue and organs from surgical procedures.
• Amputated limbs from veterinary surgery.
• Specimens from veterinary pathology examinations.
• Anatomical waste from animal autopsies.

Anatomical waste requires separate handling from general clinical waste due to its biological nature and incineration requirements. Staff place anatomical material directly into orange bags at the point of generation, whether in a birthing suite, operating theatre or pathology laboratory. The distinctive orange colour ensures anatomical waste is never mixed with yellow clinical waste or purple cytotoxic waste, even in fast-paced environments.

The 18 litre bag with tie handles is designed specifically for placenta disposal. After delivery, the placenta is placed into the gusseted bag. Staff then tie the handles together to create a secure closure without needing to touch the bag contents or use additional ties. This simple closure method speeds up the process in busy birthing suites while maintaining infection control standards.

For larger anatomical waste, the 60 litre bag provides the capacity needed for surgical specimens and amputated tissue. The wide opening accommodates irregularly shaped waste, while the leak-resistant LDPE material contains fluids during temporary storage and transport to incineration. Both bag sizes are designed to be collected by licensed waste contractors for high-temperature incineration, completing the compliant disposal chain from clinical area to final destruction.

Orange is the designated colour for anatomical waste across Australian healthcare facilities. This colour coding system allows immediate visual identification at every stage of the waste journey, from clinical generation through to incineration. Orange bags signal that contents require high-temperature destruction rather than standard clinical waste treatment. This visual distinction is critical in facilities where multiple waste streams are generated in close proximity. Yellow bags for clinical waste, purple bags for cytotoxic waste, and orange bags for anatomical waste can all be present in the same clinical area. The consistent use of orange across both bag sizes in this collection supports staff training and reduces the risk of incorrect waste segregation.

Orange anatomical waste bags are for human tissue, organs, body parts and other recognisable anatomical material requiring incineration. This includes placentas, amputated limbs, surgical specimens, biopsy tissue after examination, and products of conception. Anatomical waste is distinct from general clinical waste (yellow bags) and requires separate collection for high-temperature incineration.

The 18 litre bag with tie handles is designed specifically for placenta disposal. The gusseted base expands to accommodate the placenta, while the tie handles allow staff to seal the bag securely by tying them together. This size is ideal for birthing suites and maternity wards where placenta disposal is a routine requirement after each delivery.

Yes. Both bags are manufactured from leak-resistant materials to contain fluids from anatomical waste. The 18 litre bag uses HDPE and the 60 litre bag uses LDPE, both of which provide effective fluid containment during handling, temporary storage and transport to incineration. For added security, ensure bags are not overfilled and are sealed properly before moving.

After placing the anatomical waste in the bag, gather the two handles and tie them together in a secure knot. This creates a closed top without staff needing to touch the bag contents or use additional cable ties or tape. The handle design allows quick, hygienic closure in busy clinical environments where time and infection control are priorities.

Orange is the designated colour for anatomical waste in Australian healthcare facilities. This colour coding system provides immediate visual identification, ensuring anatomical waste is segregated from general clinical waste (yellow), cytotoxic waste (purple), and other waste streams. Orange bags signal that contents require high-temperature incineration rather than standard clinical waste treatment.

Yes. Both bag sizes are suitable for veterinary anatomical waste including animal tissue, organs and amputated limbs from veterinary surgical procedures. The same colour coding and disposal requirements apply to animal anatomical waste as human anatomical waste. Check with your waste contractor to confirm collection and incineration arrangements for veterinary facilities.

Yes. Contact our team to request samples of either anatomical waste bag size. Samples allow you to verify sizing, material quality and handle function before placing larger orders. We dispatch samples from our Sydney warehouse and can typically ship within 48 hours.
