Disinfection and protection

Hygiene and protection supplies for clinic: what gets used between patients and what always needs to be in stock.

For hands, Sterillium in two formats: 1000 ml solution for disinfection on intact skin and a 475 ml alcohol gel for hygienic and surgical antisepsis. For surfaces, instant alcohol-based disinfectant in a 5-litre jerrycan, ready to spray onto couch and equipment with no dilution.

Personal protection is covered by Type IIR surgical masks in boxes of 50, pleated with latex-free ear loops, and disposable shoe covers in packs of 100, which keep cross-contamination out of treatment rooms and clean areas.

Everything in this category is on a reorder cycle: worth checking stock as often as you check couch roll, because these are the items that run out without warning.
