What is Clinical Waste?

Clinical waste is any material posing a risk of infection. Common in Manchester practices: - Used dressings, swabs, gauze (yellow bags) - Contaminated gloves, aprons, masks - Soiled surgical waste - Infectious bodily fluids/tissues

Yellow bags are for infectious soft waste requiring incineration. Never mix with sharps (yellow-lid bins) or offensive waste (tiger bags).
