Synthetic Examination Gloves

Over many years we have a number of concerns when using latex gloves due to increases in latex allergies among care workers, NRL or natural rubber latex has long been the chosen product for examination gloves because it is light, strong, and protective on a microbiological level yet offers the user sensitivity when in use.

The downside however is that a lot of health workers reported problems with allergies especially care staff with asthma and skin problems and on some occasions more serious reactions.
Our range of synthetic gloves offer a cost effective solution when deciding on a suitable alternative as they are strong and reasonably sensitive however they don’t have the same proteins that are apparent in natural latex.

A rise in the cost of production of latex have also contributed in a price increase in NRL based products where as gloves manufactured using synthetic substances are able to stay at a low price, in fact our prices start from just £2.95 ex vat for high grade medical standard gloves.

If you are looking for a supplier of synthetic examination gloves to supply your home or care facility, why not give us a call to compare us with your current supplier on 01704 553 773

Training a Kitten to use a Litter Tray

I Posted this a while ago on a separate blog but I thought it would be helpful  here too, These products have a hundred different uses and I think this is my favorite but that’s because it helped me through a particular messy litter tray period when my cats were younger.

I have mentioned about the use of disposable bed pads when protecting a bed or furniture however there are a number of other uses for this product that may surprise you. I’ve been selling a lot of these recently on ebay to various pet owners who are currently toilet training their puppies, kittens and keeping pets.

The pad itself is ideal for this due to the shape and the absorbency of the sheet. The 60 x 60 bed pad or Inco sheet can be placed in a cat litter tray under the to absorb excess moisture. The benefits of doing this means that the litter omits less odour and cleaning the tray a much easier experience.

The sheet itself has a plastic backing with will protect the surface it lays on while the quilted material is made from an absorbent pulp that locks moisture into the pad itself.

There are a number of different uses for this product this is just one of them, For more information regarding these pads please visit our website at http://www.bmsupplies.co.uk/.

Cat Toilet Training - Hints & Tips

By Nancy Wigal

There are several things you need to do to help the mama cat train her kitties to develop good cat litter box habits. While the kids may try to follow mom's example, here's how you can help cement that success.

First, since kittens are so physically small and they're still developing coordination and agility, it's critical that you, the human mom, make sure they can easily get in and out of any cat litter box. The easiest way to do this is buy disposable aluminium roaster pans from your grocery store. Kittens grow as fast as weeds in the summertime, so this is a temporary, but completely justifiable purchase.

If your regular litter boxes are too tall for the babies to climb in and out, they'll become discouraged and they'll select the easiest spot (for them, at least) to eliminate waste. Once they get this idea in their little heads, it could be hard to get out. So, don't give them the excuse!

The type of litter you use for kittens can be dangerous. Since kittens are so darn curious, they test everything with their mouths. If they eat clumping litter, this could kill them. Use a non-clumping litter for several weeks. It won't be any easier to watch them taste test the non-clumping litter, but neither will it be dangerous.

Depending upon the size of the litter, you'll need at least two, and possibly several roasting pans. Since the babies all pretty much eat at the same time, they'll feel the call of nature in a group as well. You can ensure successful cat litter box habits by making certain there are enough boxes to accommodate a group elimination activity.

Young kitties don't have great control of their bladder and bowel functions. Place all cat litter boxes in close proximity to their living quarters. Keep the pans away from their food and water, but don't place them out of the same room, if possible. The closer the pans are, the better the chances are the babies will make it to the box in time to let loose.

Also, make certain that mom is teaching the babies by the time they are five weeks old. If mom seems to be falling down on the job, you must step in during week five of their lives and start the training process. Shortly after the little ones have fed, take them to the litter pan, and place them in it. You may need to gently take a front paw, and scratch for them. Fortunately, almost all cats "get it" very quickly. Your coaching period should be relatively short.

By working with mama cat, the two of you make sure the babies develop good cat litter box habits for life.

Inco Sheets Northwest

As part of our range of washable incontinence bed sheets we now stock a selection of disposable Inco sheets.
Bed pads are similar to incontinence pads in the way that they absorbent and lock moisture away however these are flat and can be placed on a bed, a waterproof backing stops moisture from leaking onto the mattress and bedding.

A) Once the liquid touches the white top surface of the pad the absorbent pulp draws moisture to the center of sheet.
B) The powdered gel absorbs the moisture and locks this moisture ensuring it doesnt leak back to the surface
C) The plastic backing acts as a barrier stoppoping the moisture from leaking right through the pad to the mattress and bedding, this also has a sticky backing to stop the bed pad from moving during the night. 

Usually these items are available in different sizes however the most popular sizes in use worth nursing and care homes are 60cm by 60cm or 60cm by 90cm.

Huggies call it a day!

Kimberley Clarke who manufacture Huggies brand to have decided to call it a day on selling the recognizable brand in Europe, It seems that the company have noticed less loyalty on the brand and have decided to move efforts on to some of their more established brands which include the massively popular Andrex line.

It’s not all bad news though its seems they will continue to supply its more premium products, Dry nights, and Huggies little swimmers products.
As an alternative to Huggies it may be worth considering Libero’s range of nappies and pull-ups, we are also stocking a range of pampers which may be worth trying.

As always if you require a particular size or product we can always source this in for you, feel free to call us on 01704 553 773 or email and enquiries over to orders@bmsupplies.co.uk
