The controlled environments continue to face challenges with finding suitable PPE that permits for efficient donning in aseptic environments. In particular , traditional donning methods of single use and reusable garments expose workers to risks such as rips, tears, and potential falls, which can lead to serious injury, in addition to contamination risks.
Simplifying the donning process in controlled environments is critical as it is a key driver to reducing the risk of errors in worker preparation that helps address contamination root causes. Selection of PPE that can be easily incorporated into SOPs for high compliance and less cumbersome preparation will drive overall workplace efficiencies.
With this efficiency, lab personnel can spend more time on critical tasks and reducing delays, which enhances overall productivity and the accuracy of their functions.
Ansell's innovative approach with offering of the BioClean-D™ Drop-down Sterile Coverall with integrated hood was developed to enhance worker safety and efficiency, while addressing contamination concerns. The unique coverall designs focus on facilitating easy aseptic donning while reducing exposure to contamination zones. By improving the ease and safety of putting on PPE, Ansell effectively minimizes both physical and contamination-related risks, enhancing overall safety and production outcomes.
The coverall design provides a easy user experience with overhead style donning design which eliminates the risk of the garment touching the floor. The design is also inclusive of strategically placed quick release tabs (to hold and remove during zip closure) all of which are below the waste that maintain aseptic donning throughout the process.
