Blood and bodily fluids are an infection risk, in healthcare environments. The latest UKHSA Guidance on Preventing and Controlling Infections (2023) recommends that ‘any spillages of blood, faeces, saliva, vomit or nasal discharges’ should be ‘cleaned immediately’. But different products are needed depending on the type of bodily fluid, the amount of spillage, the likely pathogens, the type of surface and the location of the spill.
An additional complication is that urine and vomit spillages should not be treated with chlorine (found in most Spill Kits). Adding chlorine products to urine can cause unpleasant odours and when used on vomit may produce potentially toxic chlorine gas.
Many biological spill kits include polyacrylate granules, which absorb water but not any form of solids or fats that are often found in bodily fluids. This means they are not a single step answer.
New bioperl® provides a next generation, effective solution for cleaning all bodily fluid spills – blood, urine and vomit – in one easy to use product. Just cover the spill with bioperl®, allow it to absorb (1-5 minutes), then scoop up with the disposable dustpan.
The unique formulation combines high absorbency of liquids (up to 3 litres) with an antimicrobial action. This allows rapid spill removal and disinfection of the surface, which is left dry and safe to use.
bioperl® is based on a natural mineral and is plastic free. The disposable dustpans are manufactured from recycled cardboard.
bioperl®, is available to order at Amazon UK Bioperl Biohazard Spill Pack (Box of 14 packs) : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science
