Eye and skin injuries caused by corrosives are often serious and damage can occur very quickly. Having instant access to the fast and effective Plum Emergency Eye and Skin Wash from Bel-Art Products (USA) is crucial.

The Plum Sterile pH Neutralising Emergency Eye Wash consists of a buffered phosphate solution that rapidly neutralises even concentrated acids and alkalis, rendering them harmless. Further rinsing with the Plum Sterile Saline Emergency Eye Wash allows users to seek medical treatment while preventing further contamination. Other eye washes available on the market combine the two solutions in one bottle diluting the pH

Neutraliser and making it less effective.

Prompt and effective eye rinsing is also important in connection with injuries caused by dust, dirt, metal or wood chips. In these situations, immediate rinsing with the Plum Sterile Saline Emergency Eye Wash can prevent debris from sticking to the eye and causing serious injury. This product contains a sterile sodium chloride solution (0.9%) that corresponds to the eye’s natural fluid providing gently rinsing.

All Plum Emergency Eye Washes are FDA registered, meet U.S. Federal regulations and comply with ANSI standards. Bottles are equipped with a flexible, form-fitting eye cup that ensures a gentle and effective rinsing and easily opens with a twist. Built-in drain holes in the eye cup lead fluid away from the eye during rinsing. The products offered include stations of different sizes for wall-mounting, as well as individual units to put in vehicles, toolboxes, or first aid kits.
