Technical Narrative
The BD 53293 Sharps Container 5.4 Quart is the designated replacement sharps container for TrippNT’s Phlebotomy Pro Cart (51536) and Phlebotomy Pro Mini Cart (53292) — sized and shaped to fit the integrated sharps container holder built into the rail top of both carts without modification. The 5.4-quart capacity covers the sharps volume generated during a full 60–80-patient-per-shift phlebotomy round. The automatic rotating chamber provides touchless sharps disposal: needles, syringes, lancets, and razors are directed into the opening; the chamber rotates to seal the deposited sharp away from the user’s hand before the next disposal, eliminating direct-contact exposure risk at the point of disposal. No finger contact with disposed sharps is required at any stage of the disposal process.
Constructed from high-impact, shatter-resistant, puncture-resistant red polypropylene, the container provides a rigid barrier between disposed sharps and all personnel at all surfaces throughout the shift. Fill-level indicators on the container body provide at-a-glance capacity assessment without opening the container. At 12⅛ × 10⅞ × 4¾″ (W × H × D) and 1.05 lb empty, the container fits the TrippNT Pro Cart and Pro Mini Cart rail-top holder exactly as designed. The container is a single-use disposable unit that must be sealed and disposed of per facility and regulatory sharps waste protocols when the fill line is reached. Available through LabSupplies.com as a replacement unit for phlebotomy programs standardized on TrippNT Pro Cart platforms.

Product Documentation
Compliance & Disposal Guidance
The BD 53293 is a single-use disposable sharps container. When the container reaches the fill-line indicator, it must be sealed and disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local medical waste and sharps disposal regulations. Disposal requirements vary by jurisdiction — consult your facility’s infection control and compliance team for approved sharps disposal procedures. The 5.4-quart capacity is sized for high-volume phlebotomy shift use in the TrippNT Pro Cart and Pro Mini Cart rail-top holder; replacement frequency will depend on per-shift sharps volume. LabSupplies.com recommends maintaining an on-hand supply of replacement containers adequate for your program’s shift schedule. This is a BD-manufactured product; contact BD or your facility’s compliance team for manufacturer-specific regulatory compliance questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the BD 53293 integrate with the TrippNT Phlebotomy Pro Cart, and is it the only container size that fits the rail-top holder?
The 51536 Phlebotomy Pro Cart and 53292 Pro Mini Cart each include an integrated sharps container holder built into the rail top that is sized to accept the BD 53293 5.4-quart container’s 12⅛ × 10⅞ × 4¾″ footprint without modification. The 53293 is the specific replacement size that TrippNT engineered the Pro Cart holder around. Other standard BD sharps container sizes or third-party containers may not fit the holder correctly. One container is pre-installed on new Pro Cart purchases; this listing is for replacement containers for ongoing cart programs.
What is the institutional pricing structure for the 53293, and can it be ordered alongside Pro Cart units in the same transaction?
LabSupplies.com provides tiered institutional pricing for hospitals, health systems, federal medical facilities, and government agencies. Volume discounts apply at checkout by quantity. The 53293 sharps container can be included in the same institutional order as the 51536 Pro Cart and 53292 Pro Mini Cart — enabling facilities to stock an initial supply of replacement containers alongside new cart purchases in one institutional transaction.
