Biohazard bags are used to dispose of non-sharp items contaminated with potentially infectious materials like blood-soaked gauze or gloves. Sharps containers are specifically designed for the disposal of sharp items such as needles, scalpels, or razor blades. Items placed in a biohazard bag should not puncture the bag, while items in a sharps container should be able to safely contain sharp objects.
