The Universal disposable pneumatic tourniquet cuff systems are suitable for use in all procedures and designed to minimise cross infection risks by being true single-use products. They are applied to the patient using a strong adhesive single-use fastener, which must be cut off for removal from the patient following completion of the procedure. The single-use adhesive band completely eliminates the possibility of re-use of the tourniquet. The cuffs should always be applied correctly using cuff padding and ensuring that prep solutions do not migrate under the cuff.

AUNIPREP TOURNIQUET DRAPE

The UniPrep drape is an integral precaution designed to prevent prep solutions migrating under the tourniquet cuff and potentially causing burns and/or an infection risk to the patient.

Designed with reference to NHS safety notice SAN(SC)99/33 Medical Devices - Surgical cuffs - risk of burns: it is manufactured from a latex free material that enables it to stretch, without applying additional pressure to the limb when fitted correctly.

UNISLEEVE TOURNIQUET & COVER

Once removed from the patient, the disposable sleeve is simply slid off the bladder and discarded. The bladder is then cleaned with a hard surface cleaner ready for insertion into the next UniSleeve. Each bladder has been designed for cleaning and re-use up to 50 times.

It is a simple system to adopt - each UniSleeve pack contains one bladder and 50 sleeves, making it easy to keep track of bladder re-usage. Bladders are colour coded to match the sleeves of the correct size and use white plastic quick release connectors.

• They are simple to use, place the item in the pouch and seal by hand. The see through front panel enables easy identification of the products inside.

• They are economical, there is no need for costly sealing equipment or time consuming wrapping and packing techniques.

The clear pouch front is backed with medical grade paper providing good wet strength properties for steam sterilisation. These are suitable for use with ethylene oxide gas or steam sterilisation.

PARTICULATE FILTER RESPIRATORS USER GUIDE

UniProtect™

particulate

respirators are

recommended

for use where

protection of

the respiratory

system is

essential.

Selecting the Right Respirator

UniProtect™ respirators feature;

• A large breathing chamber to create a cooler air exchange and help hold the mask away from

the face for wearer comfort and ease of speech

• A natural anti-fog seal and the soft inner facing layer that minimises discomfort.

• All respirators are individually CE marked and BS EN 149:2001 compliant.

P2 Respirators;

• Are recommended by the WHO for SARS and Avian Flu related outbreaks.

P3 Respirators;

• Meet the requirements specified in the NICE guidance for protection against tuberculosis.

• Comply with HPA guidance on Avian Flu and HSE recommendations for biological agents in

healthcare laboratories.

• Are suitable for use to filter out particulates found in surgical smoke or laser plume.

In addition, P3 Valved Respirators help to reduce the build up of heat which makes breathing

easier. This is useful when worn for longer periods of time or when used in warm environments or

those with elevated humidity.

The EN149: 2001 testing regime for respirators involves challenging the respirators with 0.6

micron particles of sodium chloride to determine their classification (FFP1, P2 or P3).

Respirators with PFEs exceeding 98% are FFP3. The testing measures the % of sodium chloride

particulates filtered by the respirator and uses significantly higher volumes of air compared to that

used for face mask testing.

Fit is very important. Respirators

must seal tightly to the face or air

will enter from the sides.

The ACoPS (Approved Code of Practice)

supporting the COSHH, CLAW and CAR

recommend that tight fitting respiratory

protective equipment (RPE) must be fit tested

as part of the selection process. This is to

ensure the selected RPE has the potential to

provide adequate protection for the wearer

(L5 paragraph 150, L143 paragraph 196 and

L132 paragraph 133). The ACoPS has legal

meaning: if you follow the advice, you will be

doing enough to comply with the law.

Shermond can provide a fit testing service

and/or training.
