When it comes to care needs, there are many different products that may be needed for a specific situation or time period. However, these products are often only used once and are then no longer needed.

Disposable care products offer a variety of benefits. An important advantage of disposable products is that they are hygienic and can reduce a potential source of infections. Disposable products do not require cleaning and can be easily disposed of, saving time and effort. There are also various disposal containers for the disposal of disposable medical products to avoid contamination with other patients. In addition, single-use products can also help reduce costs by minimizing the use of instrument disinfectants or the purchase of reusable products.

Another advantage of disposable personal care products is their convenience. Since they are only used once, there is no need to keep or store them. This can save space and also minimize the risk of mix-ups or errors. Disposable products are also very easy to use and do not require any special training or knowledge to use them correctly.

Disposable products are available in a variety of styles to meet the needs of patients and caregivers. Examples of this are disposable gloves, disposable aprons, bed protection pads, wooden tongue depressors, cardboard kidney trays, washing gloves and medicine cups. These products can be available in different sizes and materials to meet the individual needs of patients.

Disposable products can also help reduce the risk of cross-contamination in care. Because they are only used once, there is no possibility of them coming into contact with other patients or objects and thus transmitting bacteria or viruses. This is particularly important in medical facilities where the risk of infections is high.

Disposable products are hygienic, cost-effective, convenient and can minimize the risk of cross-contamination. When looking for disposable products, consider contacting a trusted provider to ensure you receive high-quality products that meet your patients' needs.

Washing gloves for hygienic cleaning in the care sector

Disposable wash gloves are an important component in the healthcare sector as they provide a safe and hygienic way to wash patients. Disposable gloves are a hygienic alternative for personal hygiene in the nursing sector and ensure that contamination with other patients is minimized. These gloves are designed to provide a high level of protection and hygiene, minimizing the risk of infections. They can be easily disposed of, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and preventing the spread of germs and bacteria.

Another advantage of disposable wash gloves is that they save time. Because they are only used once, they do not need to be washed or sterilized, saving time, energy and money. This is particularly important in the care industry, where time is often at a premium and every moment counts.

Disposable wash gloves are also a cost-effective option. They are typically cheaper than traditional laundry methods and can be purchased in bulk. This is particularly important for care facilities, which often care for large numbers of patients and have to worry about their budget.

Damp wash gloves can be used straight out of the packaging and do not need to be soaked in soap and water, which in turn saves considerable time. The damp washing gloves are particularly gentle on the skin and suitable for whole-body washing in care.

Disposable gloves are an important part of medical protective clothing. These gloves are worn by medical personnel to prevent the transmission of germs and infections. Disposable gloves come in a range of sizes from XS to XL and materials such as nitrite, latex and vinyl to suit the needs of medical staff.

Another example of medical protective clothing are face masks. Face masks protect medical staff from the transmission of germs, bacteria and viruses through the nose and mouth. There are different types of face masks, such as ordinary surgical masks or FFP1, 2, and 3 masks, tailored to specific needs.

Face shields are another example of medical protective clothing. They protect the eyes and face of medical personnel from potentially dangerous substances such as blood, mucus or other liquids.

Protective clothing, including gowns and aprons, protects healthcare workers from contact with potentially hazardous substances. This clothing can also help prevent the spread of germs and infections. After using the protective clothing, it can be easily disposed of, which can minimize the spread of germs and prevent contamination with other patients.

When purchasing medical protective clothing, you should ensure that it meets the required safety standards and meets the needs of your facility.

Different variations of FFP masks

In addition to the FFP2 masks that are mainly mentioned in everyday life, there are also FFP 1 and FFP 3 masks. The main distinction here is the area of ​​application and permeability. Accordingly, the FFP1 mask must filter at least 25% of the test aerosols, the FFP2 mask has to filter at least 94% and the filter performance of the FFP3 mask is at least 99%. There are clear prescribed requirements that are also checked. Whether a particle-filtering mask has passed the detection procedure can be determined by looking at the CE mark with a four-digit number on the mask.

Differentiation between FFP, surgical and fabric masks

When it comes to face masks, a distinction is made not only between the individual FFP variations, but also between surgical and fabric masks. A conventional fabric mask has no labeling because it is referred to as clothing and only protects against droplets when inhaled and the ejection of droplets is only reduced and not prevented. For a medical face mask, also known as a surgical mask, the CE marking can be found on the packaging. The surgical mask is used for external protection as it only provides minimal protection against aerosols. The FFP2 and 3 mask, on the other hand, provides complete protection against droplets and aerosols and is therefore used to protect yourself and others. Whether the mask meets the legal requirements can be seen by the CE marking with a four-digit number on the mask. You can find tested and approved FFP and surgical masks in various versions in your Altruan online shop. In addition to colorful masks or simple white ones, we also offer FFP and surgical masks that are ideal for children. You can find an illustration of correct use on the Bfarm page.

Areas of application of surgical and FFP masks

Wearing a mask is recommended wherever you come into contact with air particles that are harmful to your health. For example, when renovating buildings where mold spores and asbestos particles can be released. Also in hospitals, not only to protect yourself from pathogenic germs, but also to reduce the risk of infection in people with weak immune systems.

Since there are a wide variety of regulations regarding masks, especially in the current corona pandemic, it is important to always keep yourself informed about the latest regulations.
