Flu Essential Products
Tissues
When noses are running, tissues are the first source of containment/recovery. Remember to also have waste receptacles nearby for easy disposal.
Premium 2-ply facial tissues made of 100% virgin fiber and available in 3 sizes of boxes.
Procedure Masks
Masks, masks everywhere! Whether for public use in a facility, containing airborne particles of a patient or keeping a clinician protected from exposure, you never want to be in short supply.
Cardinal Health™ Procedure Masks meet performance requirements of ASTM F2100-11 for bacterial filtration efficiency and resistance to fluid permeation.
Exam Gloves
Exam gloves are a critical component
of personal protection every day, but especially during flu season as the risk
of exposure is higher.
Cardinal Health™ FLEXAL™ Comfort is
the next generation of our FLEXAL™ nitrile exam glove that combine excellent fit
and comfort with protection.
Isolation Gowns
Help protect your staff! During flu season, hospitals tend to see an influx of patients with complications from flu along with other seasonal diseases, driving up utilization by the staff.
Cardinal Health™ AAMI Level 2 full-back over-the-head isolation gowns offer a 3-point safety system:
•
•
•
over-the-head donning
a hybrid elastic wrist and thumb-hook design
unique waist tie and overlapping back panel
system designed for true full-back 360 degree coverage
Face Shields
Eyewear and face shields are a key enabler of infection control. Eyes enable infectious coughs and sneezes to enter the body accelerating the opportunity to become ill, which may prevent your staff from being able to do their jobs.
Consider including Cardinal Health™ Face Shields as an additional barrier to flu contaminated fluids. Shields are
one-piece and come in varied sizes from ¾, full length,
and an extended length.
Disposable Stethoscopes
While everyone is clamoring to be heard,
it’s the patient’s insides that clinicians must listen to. These tools never leave a physician’s side, but often carry contaminants. When in doubt—throw it out.
Cardinal Health™ Single-Use Stethoscopes help prevent cross-contamination and are available in all plastic, chrome plated brass binaural, and aluminum chest piece and binaural option.
Sharps
When using flu vaccine vials, rather than
pre-filled syringes, clinicians must have
safe solutions for medication preparation
and delivery. Sharps help to accomplish that! Make sure you have what you need for medication preparation.
Unlike other safety devices on the market, the Magellan™ Hypodermic Safety Needle features a robust shield that encases the entire cannula after activation, which protects downstream workers.
Sharps Disposal
Don’t forget the importance of proper sharps disposal at your facility. With increased sharps utilization, don’t let used needles and syringes pile up. Keep them contained and safe from others.
SharpStar™ Sharps family of containers are engineered with controls to prevent overfilling and limit accidental or intentional access to container contents.
