Infection Containment Personal Protective Equipment Kits
Infection Containment Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) packs - pandemic kits - are an innovative new approach to infection control from GreenValet. Developed following extensive research by several NHS trusts, infection containment PPE packs are for emergency use during pandemic outbreaks such as SARS and avian influenza ('bird flu').

Why use Kits?
-
Research of infection outbreaks found that on many occasions qualified staff were delayed from intervening during the critical early stages due to partial availability of PPE.
-
This resulted in greater spreading of infection and the exposure of more key staff to higher levels of risk.
-
Infections spread further as a direct result of the failure to dispose of used PPE correctly by those dealing with outbreaks.

Green Valet infection containment PPE packs recently gained NHS backing and were added for the first time to the new NHS Supply Chain official catalogue in April 2008.
