Due to COVID-19 related supply chain issues, there is a shortage of gloves worldwide and the prices are increasing dramatically. However, DE Healthcare have a good supply of medical and dental grade latex gloves NZ and nitrile gloves in various colours, in boxes of both 100 and 200, supplying affordable gloves without compromising quality, providing the most cost-effective pricing available.
They are also about to launch the Aloe Latex Gloves (their natural anti-inflammatory agent moisturises and repairs your skin ). Their textured grip gloves are powder free with a sensitive feel and enhanced grip, moisturising and hydrating your skin.
Also this month look out for their white earloop masks. The Maxima Earloop Masks – Level 2 – White are light, comfortable masks for extended wear when necessary.

They have some safe tips for the use of
The Becton’s Sharps Collector:
- Do not fill past the fill line
- Change the Sharps Collector as soon as the contents reach the fill line
- When removing a Sharps Collector always use the handles provided
- Secure the lid to the Sharps Collector base correctly, an audible click will be heard once the lid is in place
- Do not dispose of non-sharps waste in Sharps Collectors as this adds unnecessary cost to your waste disposal fees
- Always remember to aim for Point of Use positioning
- When placing a sharp into a Sharps Collector, place the sharp end in first. If using a Counter Balance or Next Generation Sharps Collector, you will still place the sharp end in first, but on a horizontal angle
- Do not recap needles
- Do not de-notch needles off syringes
- If you see that a collector has been positioned unsafely please alert the relevant person in your department
