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.
For additional information on the SteriClean® Neutral Detergent or to request free trial samples, please email sales@helapet.co.uk or call T (0)800 0328 428.

Apr 2019 - Berner Sterile Neoprene Gloves transition to sealed double bagged sterile packaging
Our new double bagged poly-packaging supports multi-stage transfer of multiple gloves into cleanroom environments, reducing time, energy and cost.
As of April 2019, our UK exclusive Berner Cytotoxic Neoprene Gloves will be supplied in new sterile poly-packaging as we move away from the use of cardboard dispensers. The removal of cardboard further reduces the risk of lint contamination from entering the cleanroom environment.
Although this change is effective from April, we will continue to supply the current packaging whilst stocks last, after which all supply of the Berner Neoprene Gloves will be in the new poly-packaged format.
How will the new packaging affect me?
Future double bagged glove orders will be supplied 10 x 10 pairs per carton. This consists of 10 x individual sealed sterile glove pouches packed in a sterile outer bag and 10 x sterile sealed outer bags packed in an unsealed poly-liner. Each sterile pouch contains 1 x pair of gloves:
All sealed bags will be contained with a poly-liner, supporting the manual removal of gloves from the carton and preventing cardboard particles from adhering to the outer bags.
Our new double bagged sterile packaging also supports multi-stage cleanroom transfer by helping to reduce transfer disinfection time and labour. Each layer of the new glove packaging is fully labelled for easy identification of contents and key technical information such as gamma sterilised indicators.
Our unit of sale, which is currently 25 pairs per pack, will increase to 100 pairs per pack. Although there is a unit of sale increase, the price per individual pair will remain unchanged. Similarly, the 5 year sterile shelf life will not be affected.
Summary of changes
| New Product Code | New Unit of Sale | Glove Size* |
|---|---|---|
| GP3065100 | 100 pairs per pack | 6.5 (S) |
| GP3070100 | 100 pairs per pack | 7 (SM) |
| GP3075100 | 100 pairs per pack | 7.5 (M) |
| GP3080100 | 100 pairs per pack | 8 (ML) |
| GP3085100 | 100 pairs per pack | 8.5 (L) |
| GP3090100 | 100 pairs per pack | 9 (XL) |
*Please note the numeric size values for the Neoprene gloves will not be included on the new packaging. However, all alpha and numeric size values will be listed in company literature and online.

Mar 2019 - NEW Helapet expands exclusive Berner range with new FFP3 rated sterile and non-sterile facemasks
Take action against hazardous contamination with our new range of Berner FFP3 respiratory facemasks.
Helapet are pleased to announce two exciting new additions to our specialist Berner range of protective PPE consumables; introducing the new Berner FFP3 Sterile Respiratory Facemask and Berner FFP3 BLS Zero 31 Facemask.
Berner FFP3 Sterile Respiratory Facemask
High filtering capacity, tight-fitting, cleanroom ready.
The folding Berner respiratory sterile facemask delivers approved FFP3 level protection against high concentrations of solid and liquid particles for controlled cleanroom applications.
Ideally suited for users who need effective contamination resistance in sterile working environments, reducing exposure to airborne particles by a factor of 30. An integrated exhalation valve provides minimal breathing resistance and improves wearer comfort by reducing the build-up of internal heat and moisture.
The cup-shape design with soft internal sealing lips provide a secure and comfortable fit. A four point adjustable headband and nose clip allows the user to easily wear the mask whilst allowing clear unimpeded vision. This facemask is entirely latex-free, minimising the risk of allergic reactions.
Supplied individually polybagged and pre-sterilised by Ethylene Oxide (ETO) makes the Berner FFP3 Sterile Respiratory Facemask ideal for practical transfer and use in aseptic working conditions.
Berner FFP3 BLS Zero 31 Facemask
Non-sterile, high filtering capacity, innovative Nanofiltration technology
The Berner FFP3 rated BLS Zero 31 is an innovative facemask with in-built Nanofiltration technology to prevent the ingress of nanoparticles down to 0.001µm.
Specifically designed to protect users against nanoparticle contamination that can easily enter the body due to their small size, the Berner BLS Zero 31 facemask combines FFP3 rated performance with minimal breathing resistance comparable to an FFP1 respirator facemask. When fitted correctly, the BLS Zero 31 Facemask protects users by filtering at least 99.9% of airborne particles in accordance with EN 149:2001+A1:2009, whilst reducing heat and moisture build-up to improve comfort.
The outer shell fabric is supported by a micro mesh net that protects against dust accumulation and mechanical damage, maintaining performance and efficiency over prolonged periods of time. The internal layer of the facemask is made from soft, polymeric foam with polyester materials that grant a comfortable yet secure seal, absorbing sweat to keep the skin dry and reduce irritation.
The elasticated straps and adjustable nose clip provide an effective facial fit without impeding on the user's vision, making the mask compatible with different forms of eye protection including overspecs and goggles.
Berner represents top quality personal protection when working with hazardous chemical agents in sterile and non-sterile working environments. Safety, comfort and validated levels of protection are at the core of every Berner branded product.
Our range of safety consumables include permeation tested, cytotoxic-resistant apparel (including protective gowns, oversleeves and cleanroom gloves), specialist cytotoxic spill kits, absorbent workmats and chemosorb pads. All our Berner products are type-tested against a list of commonly used drugs and chemicals, with full data available on request.

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.

Delivering valuable accuracy the Luer Lock Micro Channel Connector is perfect for paediatric medicines, small syringe sizes and high value medications.
Both Luer Lock Connectors are supplied individually blister packed making them deal for disinfection and non-touch application to the syringe.
Tamper-evident IV Syringe Caps for luer lock syringes are a practical, cost-effective solution for the protection of syringes once they have left the sterile preparation area.
