Buy personal protective equipment (PPE)

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is primarily known from occupational safety. Personal protective equipment refers to types of protective clothing that guarantee a high level of safety for employees and thus protect their health and that of their next of kin.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, employees in the healthcare sector have been directly affected. That is why it is important to us to support healthcare professionals, but also private individuals, with suitable personal protective equipment in the fight against the spread of Covid-19.

What is personal protective equipment and why is it so important?

When you decide to buy protective clothing, you are investing in your health. PPE primarily includes face protection and protective masks, protective clothing and goggles, but also disposable gloves.
The main purpose of wearing personal protective equipment is to protect employees. If you look at infection protection, it quickly becomes clear that patients also benefit. This is because wearing them correctly minimises the transmission route via droplet infections and aerosols and offers everyone involved the highest level of safety.

Buy disposable gloves at a favourable price

Wearing disposable gloves is essential for activities where contact with body fluids, excretions or skin-damaging substances cannot be avoided. When choosing protective gloves, the size and purpose of use must be taken into account. If you carry out activities where infectious contact is to be expected, gloves are considered suitable:

  • low-allergen, powder-free and liquid-tight medical gloves with a quality criterion (AQL) of ≤ 1.5
  • low-allergen, powder-free, liquid-tight and additionally disinfectant-resistant disposable gloves with an extended shaft to prevent liquids from running back by turning them inside out.

Disposable gloves are also widely used in the food industry, cosmetics sector, tattoo studios, hairdressing salons and many more. Maintaining hygiene and protecting yourself and others is also important in these industries.

Buy face protection and safety goggles in the AcuMax online shop

If potentially infectious liquids are likely to be splashed or sprayed, face protection and safety goggles are required. This is necessary under certain circumstances, for example, as follows

  • during surgical interventions or endoscopic examination procedures
  • during intubation and extubation or when changing tracheostomy tubes
  • during diagnostic punctures
  • in contact with patients who cough or spit
  • when cleaning contaminated instruments by hand

Face shields, also known as face shields, or mouth visors are suitable as face protection. For safety goggles, you can choose over-glasses, safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Since the start of the pandemic, face shields and face visors have also been used in the catering, cosmetics and retail sectors to protect employees and customers.
Protective goggles have long been used in many areas, for example in medicine, research and manual trades. Protecting the eyes from liquids, dust, dirt or flying particles (e.g. wood shavings) is very important.

Protective clothing, protective gowns, surgical gowns to protect against infection

Protective gowns, disposable overshoes, beard protectors or clip-on bonnets are used in the healthcare sector, but also in the food and chemical industries, to protect against the transmission of potentially contaminated or infectious faeces or liquids. However, they only fulfil this function if they are put on and taken off correctly. Work clothing must be covered at all points and protective equipment must be worn closed. For reasons of hygiene, disposable material is preferable.

Order protective masks type 2R, FFP2 and FFP3 masks, face masks

Respiratory protection is used to minimise the transmission of airborne diseases. Wearing an FFP2 mask achieves this by 92%, with an FFP3 mask even by 98%. In addition to the filter properties, the correct, tight fit of the protective mask is of course also decisive for its effectiveness. Medical hygiene masks are not respiratory protection, but they do offer protection against touching the face with contaminated hands.
