- Designed for multi-use and targeted application in various healthcare and professional settings where liquid spills
- Especially biohazardous ones, need to be quickly and safely solidified
Audience:
-
Primarily used in:
-
Operating Rooms:
- For solidifying suctioned fluids from surgical procedures
- Emergency Departments:
- For managing various fluid waste in medical devices and containers
- Laboratories:
- For handling spills of biological samples
- Patient Care Areas:
- For solidifying fluids in drainage bags or other collection devices
- Any medical or healthcare setting utilizing suction canisters:
- Where precision and a larger volume of solidifier are needed for biohazardous liquid waste
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
-
Needle Nose Bottle:
- This is a larger, multi-use bottle, providing a substantial amount of solidifier
- The specialized top allows for precise and controlled dispensing of the solidifier
- Makes it suitable for frequent use or for managing larger spills compared to single-use pouches
- Particularly useful for pouring into narrow openings, such as:
- Suction canisters
- Urology bags
- Kick buckets
- Other medical waste containers
-
Absorption Capacity:
- Contains 4.4 oz. of solidifier and is capable of solidifying up to 5 Liters of blood, urine, saline, or other water-based fluids
-
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
Contents:
- 4.4 oz. Needle Nose Bottle
