- Highly effective, safe, and versatile product for managing significant liquid spills and waste
- Particularly those involving sensitive chemicals or biohazardous materials where a chlorine-free solution is necessary
Audience:
-
Widely used in professional settings, including:
-
Hospitals:
- Especially in operating rooms, emergency departments, laboratories, and patient care units
- Laboratories:
- Clinical labs, research labs, pathology labs for managing waste and spills
- Correctional Facilities:
- For various bodily fluid spills
- Blood Banks / Donation Centers):
- For managing large blood spills
- Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities:
- Where accidents involving bodily fluids may occur
- Maintenance Departments:
- For cleaning up various spills across large facilities
Product Description:
-
Fluid Solidifier:
- Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) powder contained within a water-soluble pouch
- Purpose is to rapidly absorb and solidify liquid spills, turning them into a semi-solid, gel-like mass
-
Contains Chlorine:
-
Chlorine serves to:
-
Deodorize: Effectively neutralizes and controls unpleasant odors associated with blood and body fluid spills
-
Aid in infection control: While primarily for solidification and deodorization, the chlorine contributes to an initial reduction of pathogens in the spill -
Drop-In Pac" / "Melt Away" Technology:
- The solidifier comes in a self-dissolving, water-soluble pouch
- Pouch is designed to be dropped directly into liquid waste containers (like suction canisters, kick buckets, red biohazard bags, or wound care therapy units)
- Pouch quickly dissolves upon contact with the liquid, releasing the solidifier to encapsulate the fluid
-
Absorption Capacity:
- Contains 40 grams of solidifier and is capable of solidifying up to 1,500cc of blood, urine, saline, or other water-based fluids
-
Pre-measured:
- Individual pouches are pre-measured, eliminating the need for scooping or measuring powder, which streamlines the process and reduces mess
-
Stability:
- Generally, shelf-stable and do not have a specific expiration date, provided they are stored in a cool, dry place in their original packaging
Uses and Benefits:
-
Containment of Biohazardous Liquid Waste:
- Primarily used in healthcare settings to solidify liquid waste in collection containers, preventing spills during transport and disposal
-
Reduces Exposure Risks:
- By solidifying potentially infectious blood and body fluids, it minimizes splashing, spraying, and aerosolization
-
Deodorizes Odors:
- The included chlorine effectively controls foul odors associated with bodily fluids, improving the environment during cleanup and waste handling
-
Streamlined Workflow:
- The "drop-in" design and pre-measured packets make the solidification process extremely fast and easy
- Contributes to faster room turnovers in operating rooms and other clinical areas
-
OSHA and DOT Compliance:
- Helps facilities comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and DOT regulations for the proper handling and transport of liquid medical waste
-
Eco-Friendly:
- The water-soluble pouch design can be considered more eco-friendly as it reduces the need for additional plastic bottles or scoops
Non-toxic contents:
- The solidifier itself is non-toxic
