The ZansShield EO-Sterilized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Kit is a single-use, comprehensive solution designed for first responders and crime scene investigators. The kit provides head-to-toe protection to ensure that evidence collectors do not contaminate crime scenes or exhibits with their own DNA, while also safeguarding them from potential hazards. Each kit is individually packaged in a sealed pouch and sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO), with a chemical indicator that confirms sterility.
Each individually sealed PPE kit contains the following components:
- 1 x Protective Two-Piece Suit: This white or light blue suit is made from breathable 48 gsm to 50 gsm SMS fabric that allows for easy airflow. The suit is designed to comply with ASTM F1670 and F1671 standards for resistance to penetration by blood, body fluids, and blood-borne pathogens. The top features a zip closure with a knitted collar and cuffs, while the trousers have an elastic waist and ankles for a secure fit.
- 1 x Pair of Shoe Covers: These waterproof shoe covers feature a non-skid PVC sole to prevent slipping and are made from Spun Bond Polypropylene or microporous material.
