Medical mailer box assembly

Abstract

Abstract An assembly for housing medical supplies and for storing and mailing medical waste contained therein having an exterior box made of corrugated paper into which a plastic removable medical waste container can be inserted into and secured in a container bay provided by styrofoam insulation which contacts the interior sidewalls of the exterior box. The styrofoam insulation is provided with a plurality of apertures to accommodate syringes. Upon using the syringes, a user can place the syringe through an aperture in the medical waste container. Upon using all of the syringes originally provided with the assembly and placing them inside the medical waste container, the aperture provided in the medical waste container is latched closed and the medical waste container is placed inside the exterior box in the bay provided by the styrofoam insulation. The exterior box is then closed by closing the foldable top of the exterior box and inserting flaps attached to the foldable top to insertion holes provided at the front side of the exterior box. A pair of folded and bent appendages centrally located on the foldable top are inserted into accommodating holes located in the front of the exterior box so as to permanently lock the exterior box such that it cannot be opened without destroying the lock system. The assembly is then mailed to an appropriate disposal sight for incineration.
