SAP Bucket
Description
SAP by Curas™ includes the 5kg bucket (tub) unit.
Once the SAP is in with the fluid it will start to absorb with immediate effect (usually a few seconds after initial fluid contact). The 5kg bucket is supplied with a spoon for the convenience of the users. Each spoonful of the SAP powder provides the absorbency capacity required for e.g. a full urine bottle.
The end-result of the SAP process is a crystallization of the fluid mass which stabilizes it and prevents it from unintentionally moving, spilling or splashing. This Infection Prevention strategy is in line with Curas overall policy of providing product solutions that reduce the risks associated to patient treatments.
The spoonful (of approx. 6-7g of SAP) is poured into the hollowware at first and subsequently the contact with fluid automatically activate the product’s performance without the need for the user to do anything; simply position it and leave it in the e.g.:
- Urine Bottle
- Bed Pan
- Slipper Pan
- Commode Pan
- Toilet Chair Bowl
- Vomit Bag & Bowl
- Urine Bag Emptying Canister
- Hazard Canister
- Infectious Bath Water Bowl
Modern healthcare providers are increasingly focusing on the dangerous aspects of airborne particles. The stabilization of any bodily fluid is a primary concern and thus priority – the answer to this problem lies in the SAP by Curas™ product line.
The SAP can be used in both disposable and reusable hollowware items and where e.g. a bed pan or a urinal is re-processed for decontamination; the washing processes (whether manual or automatic) will flush out the crystallized human waste fluid even when it is initially stabilized by SAP from the 5kg bucket.
