LK Packaging HD08511RE 8.5 x 11 1 Mil High-Density Red Dressing Disposal Bag

LK Packaging HD08511RE High-Density Red Dressing Disposal Bag – 8.5 x 11 Inch Clinical Waste Bag

The LK Packaging HD08511RE is an 8.5 × 11 inch high-density red dressing disposal bag rated at 1 mil, sized for medium and large wound dressing disposal in hospital inpatient units, long-term care facilities, and outpatient wound care settings. The 8.5 × 11 inch format accommodates larger wound dressing assemblies including multi-layer dressings, large adhesive covers, and drainage pads that exceed the capacity of smaller 6 × 9 inch disposal bags. Red coloration provides standard biohazard waste stream visual identification consistent with OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard and Joint Commission healthcare waste management requirements. Available by the case for clinical and healthcare facility programs.

What Are the Specifications of the HD08511RE?

The HD08511RE measures 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall, providing the standard letter-paper-sized footprint that accommodates full-size wound dressings including large foam dressings, composite dressings, and drainage pads used in hospital inpatient wound care, post-surgical dressing changes, and long-term care wound management programs. At 1 mil high-density polyethylene construction, the bag provides puncture resistance and containment integrity for soiled dressings through the waste handling process from bedside disposal to regulated medical waste pickup. The 8.5 × 11 inch format also fits standard clinical procedure tray setups for inpatient nursing units.

When Is the HD08511RE the Right Size Over Smaller Red Bag Options?

The HD08511RE’s 8.5 × 11 inch size is appropriate when wound dressing assemblies exceed the 6 × 9 inch capacity of the HD0609RE—specifically for larger wounds requiring multi-layer dressing systems, large absorbent pads, or wound drainage management dressings. Hospital inpatient units managing post-surgical and complex wound patients typically stock both the smaller HD0609RE for minor dressing changes and the larger HD08511RE for complex dressing assemblies, allowing nursing staff to match disposal bag size to dressing volume without excess unused bag material or inadequate containment from undersized bags.

Hospital Inpatient Unit and Long-Term Care Facility Standard Dressing Change Tray Disposal Bag

Hospital inpatient nursing units and long-term care facilities managing patients with large wounds, post-surgical incisions, and complex wound care programs need a consistent standard-size red disposal bag that fits inpatient procedure tray setups and accommodates the full range of large wound dressing materials generated during daily dressing changes. The HD08511RE’s 8.5 × 11 inch format serves as the standard large-format dressing disposal bag for inpatient programs where small-bag options are insufficient for the wound dressing volumes encountered in complex wound care and post-surgical nursing units.

Is the HD08511RE Appropriate for OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Compliance Programs?

The HD08511RE is a red high-density polyethylene bag designed for regulated medical waste disposal applications consistent with OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requirements for containment of potentially infectious materials. Specific facility compliance requirements under applicable state regulated medical waste regulations—including bag marking, labeling, and disposal method requirements—should be verified with your facility’s infection control or environmental services program before standardizing the HD08511RE in your clinical waste management protocol.
