Suits, oversleeves, overshoes and facemasks can be supplied either sterile or non-sterile in lint free materials to avoid particle contamination in Cleanroom environments.

UK Berner Distributor

As the sole UK distributor of Berner single-use disposables for protection against cytotoxics, Helapet offer the very best in gloves, armlets, work mats and spill kits.

Whenever cytotoxics are produced, handled or administered there is the risk of spillage and a suitable spill kit should be on hand to safely clean up and decontaminate the area, protecting personnel and avoiding cross contamination.

Helapet offer a selection of cytotoxic spill kits ranging from Home Spill Kits for patients or staff administering cytotoxics away from the hospital environment, to the Berner Spill Kit XP that is fully compliant with the latest European PPE guidelines for handling cytotoxics. The standard Berner Spill Kit for liquid spills is now available completely latex free with the option of choosing a larger glove and gown if required.

Berner remains the glove of choice for those handling cytotoxics within an aseptic environment and the new upgrade to poly packaging enables them to be used in paper free environments. Berner gloves are CE marked and aseptically presented in a clean peel pouch printed with lot number and expiry date and the poly pouches can be liberally sprayed with alcohol for aseptic transfer.

The gloves fully comply with European PPE category III, EN374 chemical and bacteriological and EN388 mechanical standards. Full breakthrough data for a range of cytotoxics including carmustine, cisplastin and methotrexate together with other technical support information is available on request.

The quality of Berner products makes them the ideal partner for hospital pharmacy units and the pharmaceutical industry when working with cytotoxic solutions.

Specialist Bags and Packaging

Specialist packaging solutions are supplied for the manufacture and transport of pharmaceuticals, reducing risks with clear labelling choices for light sensitive medications, cytotoxics and cold chain products.

Cytotoxic medications need to be securely transported to the patient, maintaining asepsis and clearly labelled to avoid errors.

Chemo-Trans-Waste bags offer a secure solution for both transport and waste. Manufactured from strong clear polythene for content visibility, the bags are printed on one side in yellow with hazard labelling and purple stripe and a convenient write on panel, all fully compliant with current best practice guidelines (DoH 'Health Technical Memorandum 07:01 safe management of healthcare waste').

Sterile bags can be taken inside your isolator to collect the non-sharps waste generated whilst making up chemotherapy drugs. The bags can be sealed using the tamper evident strip and disposed of as cytotoxic waste, in line with hospital protocols.

Stericlean Sterile Disinfectants

Alcohols remain the disinfection of choice for aseptic transfer and when used in combination with SteriClean wipes, it ensures good cleaning practice can be maintained. Using the SteriClean range of alcohols, biocides and neutral detergent, a good rotational cleaning and disinfection practice can be employed for cabinets and surfaces in Cleanroom environments.

Alcohols should be used to remove the build-up of sticky residues which can make floors look dirty and cause foaming and slippery surfaces.

All of our sterile spray systems use a non-venting trigger and bag in a bottle closed system, ensuring the sterility of the contents throughout use and independent validation data has demonstrated that the sprays remain sterile for up to three months from opening.
