Pro-Val gloves and protective clothing for Australian vets.

Announcement posted by RCR International Pty Ltd 03 Jul 2013

Australian vets don’t risk your health wear Pro-Val gloves and protective clothing.

Research by the University of Sydney's Veterinary Science department shows poor infection control has led to 44.9 per cent of vets contracting an infectious disease during their career.

More than 75 per cent of the 344 veterinarians questioned admitted they did not use masks, gowns, or gloves when performing surgery, dental procedures and post-mortems.

"Our profession appears to have a complacent attitude towards the use of personal protection," said the study's author, Dr Navneet Dhand.

The Pro-Val examination gloves are all well suited for the veterinary industry particularly for tasks where you require greater barrier protection. Available in nitrile, latex, neoprene and vinyl our gloves are comfortable, flexible and strong with excellent dexterity. All of our examination gloves are listed on the Register of Therapeutic Goods and Meet International Standards for Medical Examination gloves.

For non-hazardous tasks the Pro-Val disposable glove range are ideal giving you a choice of nitrile, latex and vinyl gloves all aiding in protecting your hands against dirt, bacteria and pet odours. They are also great for administering medications and preventing the spread of infections.

Our disposable protective clothing range is an excellent cost effective alternative to fabric clothing, eliminating the need for laundering costs and ensuring the control of contamination.

If you require full body protection, we have a choice of five comfortable disposable coveralls, including water resistant, waterproof and single layer coveralls suitable for various applications. The Hazguard MP4 provides the greatest level of protection it is waterproof and certified to protection levels Type 4, 5 and 6 applications. It also provides protection against chemical liquid and blood penetration and has been used for protection against the risk of Hendra virus. Wear the coveralls with our shoe or boot covers for added coverage.

For messy clean up tasks we have a variety of wipes including heavy duty wipes for those more difficult clean up jobs.  A dispenser for the heavy duty wipe and the gloves is available for an efficient way of dispensing quickly and cleanly, keeping hygiene at a premium.
