Jun 2022 - Introducing the new eco-friendly range of Helapet Sterile Sharps Bins
Helapet are pleased to announce a major development in the range of Sterile Sharps Bins. The new "Eco" range of sharps containers are made from at least 40% recycled plastic, assisting the NHS drive to reach Net Zero by 2040.
The new Eco range will conform to HTM07-01 management and disposal of healthcare waste guidelines. This means they are still a standard yellow container with yellow or purple lids for cytotoxic /cytostatic waste. Due to the recycled material, the yellow will be a darker tone in contrast to the current model.
The new eco range of Sterile Sharps Bins contain a minimum of 40% high grade recycled material to help minimise the impact on our environment and the carbon footprint during its manufacture. This also means there is less dependence on crude oils used in the manufacture of virgin plastic.
The new Eco Sharps Bin range is fully compliant with UN 3291 and ISO 23907-1:2019 standards. Having a mainly yellow base with the appropriate coloured lid it is also in line with HTM 07-01 waste segregation guidance. They are also compatible with the same accessories, trolleys, and brackets as the current ones.
The new ECO range of Sterile Sharps Bins will be phased in from June 2022. Current customers will not need to change anything to begin receiving the new bins. Just place your order the usual way using the same product codes.
Reducing the amount of single use plastic is a challenge in our industry but it's one that Helapet embraces. One of our key goals is to incorporate sustainability where possible across all areas of our business operations from facility management to work practices, delivering sustainable solutions that benefit the environment.

Feb 2022 - Charity Giving
During the run up to Christmas, what should be the most joyous time of year can be one of the hardest. So, while most companies purchase greeting cards to wish their customers great joy, we sent our customers personal and digital wishes of joy for the Christmas season and offered the money that would have been used on printed greeting cards to a charity that is close to our team's hearts.
In the recent Christmas of 2021, we donated to the Cynthia Spencer Hospice in Northampton.
We were delighted to hear that our donation could pay all the below:
- 8 visits to a patient from a 'hospice at home' nurse
- A memory box to remember a loved one receiving palliative care
- Transport for a patient get to their appointments
It is important to Helapet that we give back to the community Helapet and its staff belong in. 2021 saw Cynthia Spencer Hospice play an important role in one of our colleague's lives and we wanted to be able to give our thanks for the Hospice's amazing work.
"We really appreciate the support of local businesses throughout the year however, for Helapet to think of us during the festive season was really kind of the team. December marked the end of our 45th year celebrations which have been heavily impacted by the pandemic. The continued support of businesses has been vital ensuring we can continue to care for our patients and support their families too and for this we are certainly thankful. We are always looking to work with new businesses who would like to support the work of the Hospice through volunteering, fundraising, taking part in events and making donations, if anyone would like to hear more about our work, please get in touch".
Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, Cynthia Spencer Hospice
Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides specialist palliative care services for South Northamptonshire. They accept donations via their website https://www.cynthiaspencer.org.uk/donate.
Jan 2022 - Helapet Donates Microscope To Local School
Helapet, leading UK cleanroom consumables company and filter manufacturer, are delighted to present local school, Houghton Regis Academy, with a Euromex Metallurgical Type Microscope, a significantly more advanced scope to be used alongside their own equipment in the Science Lab.
Helapet were conducting one of their regular tours of their manufacturing facility to spot any ways they can improve efficiencies as part of their 5S policy. The microscope was spotted as an unused item that had been languishing in the corner. Its purpose had been to inspect the filtration media used in their filter manufacturing for quality control. It stopped being used when more advanced inspection techniques were adopted. In order to make way for more efficient processes, it was decided to remove the unit and find another owner in a drive to be more environmentally aware.
Helapet has a strong ethos of giving back to their local community so went in search of a worthy school to donate this and were pleased to discover local middle school Houghton Regis Academy, would accept and make use of the microscope. It will be used by students aged 9 to 13 years.
Helapet has recently been awarded the Investors in People - Gold.

Statement from Helapet Ltd
Mar 2020 - Helapet Puts a Cap on Contamination: Integrity Closure of Pre-filled Syringes
Helapet PharmaPack® BD Luer Lock Syringes in combination with our select range of syringe endcaps are proven to deliver validated physical and microbiological integrity closure for the approved production of injectable medicines.
In compliance with recommended guidelines*, Helapet PharmaPack® BD Luer Lock Syringes demonstrate the secure and integral closure required for approved syringe preparations leaving pharmacy.
PharmaPack® is Helapet's brand of sterile multi-pack syringes, purpose designed, packaged and sterilised for efficient and cost-effective transfer of several syringes into cleanroom and isolator environments. Consisting predominantly of BD Plastipak® Luer Lock Syringes, each batch is securely contained within low-linting, sterile multi-bag packaging. Supporting stringent aseptic transfer procedures, PharmaPack® reduces the risk of cross contamination whilst reducing time, labour and expense.
Following the release of the 2013 Yellow Document on the Protocols for the Integrity Testing of Syringes*, it is necessary for Aseptic Pharmacy Units (APU's) to assess the integrity of the applied syringe/endcap combination when preparing injectable medicines. Using both microbiological and physical integrity testing, a comprehensive assessment of the luer-lock closure can be made and evidence used to approve the use of this syringe/endcap combination for the sterile preparation of patient medications.
Helapet conducted closure validations using 3 types of our syringe cap; our integral stop cap used with capped PharmaPack® syringes, the popular sterile Combi-Cap (#IV2102) and the Tamper-Evident IV Syringe Cap (#IV5750R). Our objective was to test and pass the strictest integrity evaluations when used in combination with BD PlastiPak® Luer Lock Syringes.
The results concluded that all Helapet syringe caps in combination with the PlastiPak® BD Luer Lock Syringes demonstrated the suitable durability required to pass both integrity tests, confirming that our syringe/endcap combinations deliver assured closure against potential physical leakages and external microbial contamination†. Helapet has been a respected supplier to the NHS for over 30 years and we continue to ensure that our portfolio of sterile single-use consumables continue to meet the high standards and requirements of today's healthcare professionals.
A test results summary is available on request.

Feb 2020 - Helapet deliver chemical protective apparel for microbiology testing initiative in India
Here at Helapet our company vision, mission and values inform everything we do on a daily basis, including the importance of being "helpful and to provide assistance to customers and colleagues".
Demonstrating our commitment to supporting customer health and protection, we recently responded to a request from a gentleman on his way to Khristiya Seva Niketan Hospital, a small mission hospital in West Bengal, India. The purpose of his visit was to introduce microbiology testing to KSN Hospital's small pathology laboratory, which required some personal protective clothing for his colleagues. We were delighted to assist him and delivered chemical protective Tyvek Lab Coats which were used to protect personnel against accidental spillages of potentially infected material in the microbiology lab. This includes patient samples that might be infected or cultures of pathogenic bacteria that the laboratory staff have cultured.
Having taken receipt of our lab coats, we were delighted to receive a personal thankyou note:
Dear Helapet,
On a wet afternoon on 9th January, I picked up some sample lab coats which you had kindly put to one side for me, to take out to a small mission hospital in India, where I am helping them to introduce microbiology testing in their pathology lab. I thought you might like to see a picture of them being worn. The lady in the middle is one of my colleagues from the UK.
Thank you once again for your generosity.
Yours sincerely
I M

Aug 2019 - Clean it first with new SteriClean® Neutral Detergent
Helapet are delighted to introduce our new SteriClean® Neutral Detergent Spray. A sterile, PH neutral, non-ionic detergent with low residues, designed to work alongside our exclusive SteriClean® range of sterile alcohol disinfectants in critically controlled environments.
For a disinfectant to work effectively, it is beneficial to use a detergent spray beforehand. This will remove residues and soiling. For many, using a neutral detergent spray to clean surfaces prior to disinfection is an important step. This month, Helapet have unveiled a new sterile Neutral Detergent Spray which complements their exclusive SteriClean® range of sterile cleaning and disinfectant consumables.
A ready mixed pH neutral solution blended with WFI (water for injection), this excellent general purpose cleaning agent is highly effective at removing soiling without the risk of damaging acid or alkaline sensitive surfaces. Non-ionic with an excellent toxicology profile makes this product ideal for use on oily residue and sticky substances, without the need for additional garment protection.
SteriClean® Neutral Detergent spray is 0.2 micron filtered and cleanroom processed. Each 0.9L bottle is individually double-bagged and terminally irradiated for smooth cleanroom transfer and immediate use.
Compatible for use in high grade cleanroom areas, including isolators and work benches. Helapet sterile trigger sprays incorporate a validated closed bag-in-bottle system and non-vented trigger to restrict the ingress of bacteria to maintain sterility of the bottle contents. The lightweight and ergonomic bottle design includes a fully adjustable trigger nozzle allowing for the solution to be dispensed either as a jet or mist.

Jun 2018 - Helapet achieve next level with Investors in People - Silver accreditation
Helapet are delighted to announce that we have recently been awarded Silver Investors in People accreditation. An international recognised standard that supports high business performance through the investment, management and support of its people, we are proud to dedicate this achievement to our amazing team and the terrific progress all have made in key areas of the Helapet business.
To achieve Silver standard Helapet needed to meet all set indicators at the Developed level and at least seven indicators at the Established level. Following the two day assessment, Helapet showed it was meeting all indicators at the required standard, with five at the Established level, two at the Advanced level and two indicators at the Developed level. By definition, the vast majority of company processes were seen to be "engaging, activating and creating positive outcomes".
Ben Miles (Managing Director) comments on this achievement: "Being awarded IIP Silver accreditation is a great achievement for us and a testament to the level of dedication and focus we place on our workforce. By adhering to our core values we have demonstrated what can be achieved by working together to create positive change"
For over 14 years, Helapet has held Investors in People accreditation. The jump to Silver status has been achieved through the ongoing implementation of several new company initiatives:
- Launch of new Vision, Mission and Values statement
- Implementation of Lean Principles and 5S methodologies
- Empowering staff and improving employee engagement
- Focus on improving quality and value to our customers
Final comments from the IIP report acknowledges and praises the company's recent transformation: "The Company (Helapet) has made significant progress in the three years since its last Investors in People Review in all parts of the Standard. In particular, advances have been made in the areas of empowerment, management effectiveness, objective setting and employee engagement. A new Managing Director was appointed just over two years ago and he has brought a clarity and a vitality to the people processes and practices that support organisational success. That such positive outcomes have been achieved in a relatively short time is testament not only to his energy and vision, but also to the efforts of every employee who has responded so positively to the opportunities for improvement this has presented".
Interesting Fact
Of the total organisations to have achieved Investors in People accreditation, 46% have achieved Silver accreditation and above. Learn more about Investors in People at: https://www.investorsinpeople.com/

May 2017 - VaccinePorter® Carrier Systems
Keeping your medicines effective
Temperature controlled products are products which are actively or passively controlled at a level different from the surrounding environment. This is one of the most vital parts of transporting temperature sensitive products. Vaccines are transported in refrigerated containers to surgeries and local vaccine storage facilities where they are then stored in special vaccine fridges. Keeping the vaccines within the +2°C and +8°C temperature range throughout this process is 'maintaining the cold chain'. Having products too cold causes deterioration or too warm can render the vaccine inert. Vaccines need to be stored and managed correctly so that immunisations are carried out safely and efficiently reducing the risk of compromising the quality, efficacy and safety of the vaccine program.
Having a reliable system ensures that your products are not compromised when in transit. The VaccinePorter® range allows for a safe controlled transit of temperature sensitive products between +2°C and +8°C for up to 8 hours even with multiple openings. Validation documentation assures you that the controlled product will be safe in transit. Porters are available in various sizes allowing flexibility in vaccine transportation.
Each Porter comes with a lightweight fully replaceable polystyrene inner surrounded by a strong bag with secure Velcro fastening and a tamper evident facility. In order to maintain the validation for each Porter, regular visual and weight checks are to be carried out to the cool pack ensuring the weight and product is not compromised. The polystyrene inner will also need to be checked for and chips or damage. These signs could affect the validations and will need to be replaced before use.

Mar 2016 - Helapet introduce new, improved 20mm Vented Vial Adapter
Helapet are pleased to introduce a replacement 20mm Vented Vial Adapter to our extensive range of syringe venting products.
The new enhanced design introduces a larger integrated vent filter, providing increased flow rates and reliable performance when drawing-up cytotoxic drugs and other hazardous medical solutions.
#IV0020L - 100 pcs/pck. Individually blister packed. Gamma sterilised
Vial venting is a critical part of the transfer process between vial to syringe when handling substances that could otherwise contaminate the user via spray droplets or harmful aerosols.
Helapet Vented Vial Adapters provide stable, needle-free access to standard drug vials for safe and precise drug reconstitution, whilst preventing exposure to cytotoxic contamination.
Whilst retaining its low profile design to minimise hold-up volume, the new larger air filter allows rapid and efficient equalisation of sterile air in the vial for effortless withdrawal and greatly improved flow rates.

Oct 2015 - A new year, a new beginning
January marks the start of a big change at Helapet Ltd... Managing Director John Blight will be hanging up his jacket and heading off into retirement.
John joined Helapet in October 2005, initially as Operations Manager before being promoted to General Manager in 2009 and then Managing Director in 2012.
Looking back over these last 10 years we have seen some significant changes within Helapet. Our sales have more than doubled, we have seen the introduction of a field based sales team and overall employee numbers have increased. This growth, both in turnover and staff, necessitated the need to move. Whilst we didn't have to relocate far, this was still a major project and included the construction of the new cleanrooms.
With sales on track to reach record levels in 2015, Helapet is being left in a very good position for John's successor.
Replacing John as Managing Director will be Ben Miles from our sister company, Gemini Healthcare Services Ltd. Ben has been working within the CliniMed group of companies since 2003 and has been a Director since 2007 with responsibilities for Marketing, New Product Development and Regulatory Affairs.
We would like to offer both John and Ben our warm congratulations and look forward to continued success in 2016.

Feb 2015 - New Vented Vial Adapters
Needle-free venting at its best.
Supporting GMP in compounding operations where exposure to potent drugs may occur, Helapet introduce our NEW range of single-use Vented Vial Adapters for stable, needle-free vial access.
Helapet's new Vented Vial Adapter range incorporates a 0.2µm bilateral air filter, allowing safe sterile venting of cytotoxics and other hazardous substances. Designed for high chemical resistance, the Vented Vial Adapter is evaluated against a selection of drugs known to adversely affect the performance of other polymeric devices.
Compatible with standard 13mm and 20mm vials each device utilises a non-coring plastic spike surrounded by a snap-on skirt to securely fasten onto vial tops, granting stable luer lock access to a syringe. An integrated grip allows easy handling whilst reducing contact with the luer connection.
The novel skirt design prevents the subsequent removal of the adapter from the vial, offering excellent security and reducing the risk of cross contamination.
With an increasing requirement for needle-free technologies within aseptic manufacturing and medical healthcare, Helapet are pleased to introduce the Vented Vial Adapter range, sterile and individually blister packed for clinical and cleanroom working operations.
