Dental Waste Containers
Initial’s range of dental waste containers are UN-approved and designed for the safe storage of each dental waste stream.
All of our PureGuard™ dental amalgam waste containers include a unique mercury vapour suppressant inside our high-quality, robust containers. This minimises your exposure to dangerous mercury vapours.
Mercury vapour is colourless, odourless and tasteless. Our PureGuard™ technology uses colour to demonstrate when mercury vapours have been absorbed within the container. This keeps your practice safe and compliant prior to collection by one of Initial Medical's expert local technicians.
Make sure that your dental practice meets legislation and mercury exposure limits - contact us or call 0800 030 4005 to speak to an Initial Medical expert now.

X-Ray Package and Lead Foils
Photographic fixer and developer must be disposed of carefully. This is because these products often contain acids and alkalis that are hazardous to the wider environment.
Stored within our liquid containers, potential damage to the ecosystem is averted. These containers are available in 10L and 20L sizes.
Our PureGuard™ range supplies 6.5L containers for the lead foil used in the photographic x-ray.
Mercury Vapour Suppressant
The largest workplace concentration of mercury vapours allowed in the air, recommended by the World Health Organisation, is 50 μg/m.
Initial's mercury suppressant exceeds the guidelines, keeping your dental practice safe.
