Kick bucket is a mobile, typically stainless steel, container used in medical settings like operating rooms to collect disposable waste, such as used sponges and gauze, during procedures. It features a stand on casters, allowing it to be easily moved with a foot-kick by surgical staff, hence its name. Key features often include a removable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel basin, a perimeter bumper to protect walls and equipment, and wheels for easy transport.
