When every second counts: Choose the right wound and eyewash
When your eyes or skin are at risk, every second counts. That’s why choosing the correct wound and eyewash in an emergency is critical – but do you know whether to reach for the green or the blue bottle? Different types of accidents require different rinsing solutions, and making the right choice can help minimize injuries and ensure effective first aid.
On this page, we guide you through the two types of Plum wound and eyewash, how to choose the correct one for accidents involving foreign objects, acids, or alkalis, and why the DUO eyecup is an essential part of first aid when both eyes are exposed.
You’ll also get a quick overview of the Plum Wound and Eyewash Spray – a practical solution for both skin and eyes in case of minor injuries.
Two types of wound and eyewash – one for chemical accidents and one for flushing foreign objects
Would you choose the green or the blue bottle? When it comes to eye or skin accidents, the harmful substance varies and you need to choose the right solution accordingly.
The cause of an accident determines which wound and eyewash is required. When an accident occurs, it is essential to determine whether it is caused by either a foreign object or by acids or alkali – and if possible, which pH value the substance in question holds.
The two types of Plum wound and eyewash
- The green bottle – Plum Wound and Eyewash 0.9% Sodium Chloride is used if your accident is caused by a foreign object.
- The blue bottle – Plum Wound and Eyewash pH Neutral 4.9% Phosphate is used if your accident is caused by acids or alkali.
Our wound and eyewash is borate-free as borate has shown limited neutralizing capacity, especially against acids. On the other hand, phosphate-based wound and eyewash has a strong and fast neutralizing effect on both acids and alkalis. - The Plum Pictogram plan helps you choose the right solution. The plan is included when ordering a station, box, or first aid station containing a bottle.
No need to choose which eye to save. The Plum DUO eyecup is a unique solution that lets you rinse both eyes simultaneously – and protect them both when every second counts.
When both eyes are at risk
Chemical accidents often affect both eyes. With a DUO eyecup, you are prepared to rinse both eyes at the same time, ensuring fast, effective first aid and reducing the risk of lasting damage.
Eyecup for optimal rinsing
Apart from the strength of the acid or alkali, the contact time is the most critical factor in accidents involving acids and alkali. It is key that the available first aid neutralize the harmful substance as quickly as possible. With the unique DUO eyecup, you can treat both eyes at the same time.
The eyecup is shaped to help you keep your eyes open during rinsing and ensure the correct flow of liquid and rinsing time.
For rinsing a wound the shape of the eyecup is not important.
