Abstract: This invention, Infections/Medical Waste Containment Carrier, is a manufactured, flexable container in which solid and/or liquid infectious/medical waste is placed for containment, storage, transport and incineration. The Infectious/Medical Waste Containment Carrier consists of three integral functional components:1. A coextruded polyethylene tube with walls of a given thickness.2. A closure pouch with a self-contained tie cord.3. A bottom seal of dual thermo-sealed bars with enforced cross members and air pockets.Once the bottom seal is applied to the coextruded polyethylene tube the tube becomes a bottom closed container. When the pouch is applied at a specific position located in the center and near the top of the containment carrier and the bottom and top are serrated, the containment carrier is constructed to serve as a depository for infectious/medical waste.

Abstract: The ultraviolet and infrared radiation from a source of UV radiation is subjected to the selective infrared radiation-filtering action of steam which transmits the ultraviolet rays while absorbing the infrared rays.
