Abstract
A method for containing potentially infectious devices. The potentially infectious devices are deposited is a container to which is added an MDI-based urethane prepolymer-containing composition to at least partially envelope the potentially infectious devices. The prepolymer containing composition is caused to harden through polymerization to immobilize the devices, and to act as a sterilizing or disinfectant agent due in large part to the exothermic nature of the reaction.
