A multi-part biowaste container configured to provide a low profile design while providing sufficient storage volume to accommodate the amount of blood, tissues, and other biological materials generated during a typical surgical procedure. The multi-part biowaste container includes an anti-splash container, a dual purpose lid container, and a supplemental container. The use of three separate container members increases the total volume and storage capacity of the biowaste containers while minimizing the overall profile or height of the containers.

The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein the first biowaste container comprises an anti-splash container and an absorbent member. 13. The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein at least one of the one or more secondary biowaste containers comprise a dual purpose lid container. 14. The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein at least one of the one or more secondary biowaste containers comprise a supplementary container having reverse knurling on an inward bottom surface of the supplementary container. 15. The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first biowaste container and the one or more secondary biowaste containers have a length of at least four inches, a width of at least three inches and a height of no more than 1.5 inches. 16. The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein the first biowaste containers and the one or more secondary biowaste containers have a total overall height when nested for shipping of less than 2 inches. 17. The multipart biowaste container of claim 11, wherein the first biowaste includes a cover adapted to minimize splashing or spilling of the contents of the multipart biowaste container. 18.
