Enware Australia offer Tobin saline eyewash bottles in quick access hanging systems. These bottles are designed for workplaces to provide first response to injury.
Following are the benefits and features of Tobin saline eyewash bottles:
- Bottle cap/air vent - The bottle hangs by its cap and is opened by breaking this off. An unopened bottle can be removed/replaced in the stand as required. The air vent at the base of the bottle allows soft and even flow for eye flushing.
- Flow - The eye is washed by a soft flow consisting of six tiny streams. A damaged eye must not be washed with a hard/sharp jet. Each one litre bottle contains 0.9% of sterile saline solution and provides three minutes of flow.
- Eye support ring - This facilitates prolonged washing and washing during transportation to a doctor.
- No mechanical parts - Tobin saline eyewash bottles are simple to open and easy to use with no moving parts which can malfunction.
- The open bottle - These bottles are designed to stop people saving unused liquid or refilling the bottle with other liquid. This protects the integrity of the saline solution.
- Single use - Tobin saline eyewash bottles are disposable. Sterile liquids must not be saved in an open bottle. Tobin saline eyewash bottles cannot be refilled.
- Round bottom – This safety design feature prevents bottles from standing alone, which prevents lifting bottles from the stand and placing them close to bottles with other contents.
- Bottom air vent - When the air vent is activated, it lets air into the bottle and ensures the eye is washed by a soft continuous flow. The flow can be stopped to allow blinking and eye movements, by placing the thumb over the bottom hole.
Tobin saline eyewash systems/bottles wash chemicals from the eyes. These bottles are useful during eye accidents. Tobin saline eyewash bottles are useful for flushing foreign particles such as embers and dust from the eyes.
Tobin's saline eyewash bottles are constructed to empty under natural pressure, giving a soft flow. When the bottom air vent is opened, a patient cannot increase the flow by squeezing the bottle. Uninterrupted washing over a long period is important. The five-bottle system gives approximately 15 minutes of flow.
Tobin's saline eyewash bottles can easily be removed from a stand and taken along during transportation to a doctor. It is easy to open bottles by hand. It is possible to control the flow by placing the thumb over the hole on the bottom of the bottles.
