Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is absolutely critical. We offer a full range of gloves, aprons, long sleeved gowns, surgical masks, eye goggles, face visors, and respirator masks. These examples of PPE are required for medical, dental, and other professions in a post-COVID-19 world. PPE is used in healthcare settings to create a barrier between healthcare workers and an infectious agent from the patient and to reduce the risk of transmitting micro-organisms from healthcare workers to the patient(s). In addition, PPE may sometimes be used by the patient’s family/visitors, particularly if they are providing direct patient care e.g. assisting the patient with toileting. In these circumstances, carers must be fully inducted in the use of PPE and Hand Hygiene.
