But which eye wash do you need? And when should you choose Saline or pH Neutral?

Why rapid eye rinsing is so important

In workplaces where dust, dirt, splinters or liquids can enter the eye, suitable eye wash should be readily available. Rinsing the eye immediately can help remove loose particles and contaminants and limit further exposure.

The most suitable eye wash depends on the type of contamination. Different eye wash solutions are available for rinsing out foreign particles and for exposure to acids or alkalis.

Saline Eye Wash with 0.9% sodium chloride

For rinsing dust, dirt and other foreign particles from the eye, Detectaplast offers Saline Eye Wash. This sterile eye wash contains a 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution and is ready for immediate use.

Saline Eye Wash is designed to rinse contaminants from the eye. Detectaplast offers several sizes, so you can choose the amount of eye wash that suits the application and the risks in the workplace.

The type of eye wash you need depends on what enters the eye. Saline Eye Wash with 0.9% sodium chloride is designed to rinse out dust, dirt and other foreign particles. In the event of contact with acids or alkalis, pH Neutral Eye Wash is designed for a different purpose.

Detectaplast pH Neutral Eye Wash is designed to quickly bring the pH level in the eye towards a neutral level following contact with acids or alkalis. Check which substances employees may come into contact with and make sure the right type of eye wash is available.

Thanks to their compact size, the single-dose units are easy to carry and store in different locations. The eye wash bottles contain more rinsing solution for situations where a larger quantity is required. The eye wash cap helps direct the solution over the eye.

Eye Wash Stations: Eye Wash in a Fixed Location

In the event of an eye incident, eye wash needs to be readily accessible. An Eye Wash Station provides a designated location for eye wash bottles in the workplace, so employees know where to find them.

Detectaplast offers various Eye Wash Stations that can be mounted on the wall. The range includes versions with two 250 ml bottles and two 500 ml bottles. A fixed location also makes it easier to check that the bottles are present, accessible and still within their expiry date.

Which Eye Wash Do I Need?

This depends on the risk. Saline Eye Wash with 0.9% sodium chloride is suitable for rinsing dust, dirt and other foreign particles from the eye. For acids or alkalis, a pH-neutral eye wash may be required.

What Is the Difference Between Saline and pH-Neutral Eye Wash?

Saline Eye Wash rinses contaminants from the eye. pH-neutral eye wash is designed to bring the pH level in the eye towards a neutral level following contact with acids or alkalis.

How Long Should You Rinse an Eye?

This depends on what has entered the eye. If a chemical is involved, always follow the first aid instructions and the safety data sheet for that substance.

Where Should You Install an Eye Wash Station?

Install an Eye Wash Station in a designated, clearly visible and easily accessible location close to work areas where there is a risk of eye incidents.

Can You Reuse an Opened Eye Wash Bottle?

An eye wash bottle is intended for single use. Once opened or used, the bottle must be replaced.
