METEKA Hygiene and Infection Prevention System is a practice-proven total solution for the management of infectious waste from healthcare facilities, laboratories, research centers or production plants:

Infectious wastes are collected in the puncture-proof MEDITAINER waste container with inserted waste bag. The waste collected in the MEDITAINER container is transported to the disinfection device. With the MEDISTER HF-Waste Decontamination Device the waste is treated in the same container, which was previously used for collection. No infectious waste leaves the point of generation.

After disinfection the waste bag with decontaminated waste is disposed like household waste, while the MEDITAINER container is reused.
