Plum Eyewash 0.9% Sodium Chloride Solution eases discomfort and prevents subsequent complications caused by foreign bodies in the eyes.

You can easily get a foreign object in your eye. Dirt, dust, or paint from your hands all pose a risk for your eyes. The risk increases when working with machines and tools that can cause wood or metal splinters in your eyes.

Getting a foreign body in your eye can be extremely unpleasant, as the eye is highly sensitive. Without treatment, it can develop into an inflammation of the eye, cornea or iris. By rinsing immediately after the incident, you can prevent this and decrease the risk of subsequent complications.

This eyewash contains a sterile saline solution of 0.9% sodium chloride, which is similar to the eye’s natural fluid. Squeeze the bottle gently to generate a soft and pleasant flow. The eyewash product range includes everything from a small handy bottle that you can carry with you, to wall-mounted stations that makes it quick and easy to get help in case of an emergency.

Eyewash in case of chemical accidents

Plum Eyewash pH Neutral 4.9% Phosphate neutralizes acids and alkali and quickly flush them from the eye during rinsing

DANGEROUS CHEMICALS ARE EVERYWHERE
In many jobs, businesses and industries, there is a risk of being exposed to serious eye injuries caused by chemicals e.g. in chemical factories, the recycling industry, on construction sites and in the mining industry. You need a neutralizing eyewash to minimize the impact of the accident.

Acids and alkali can break down the structure of skin and mucosa membranes. The severity of corrosion injuries depends primarily on:
• The concentration of the chemical - Strong acids and alkali are extremely
corrosive
• The temperature - A high temperature increases the corrosive properties of the
chemical
• The duration of contact - The longer the duration, the deeper the harmful
substance will penetrate

A FEW SECONDS CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
In case of eye injuries involving acids and alkali, it is crucial to neutralize the chemical as quickly as possible to a pH level of approximately 7, corresponding to the normal pH level of the eye’s fluid - before the acid or alkali has penetrated the cornea.

To optimize safety where there is a risk of acid and alkali injuries, the eyewash solution must be:
• Easily accessible
• Quick to use
• Effective

IMPORTANT
Reservation is made for hydrofluoric acid, which is toxic and highly corrosive to eyes, skin, and bones. Plum Eyewash pH Neutral 4.9% Phosphate is not intended as first aid for eye accidents involving hydrofluoric acid, because it does not limit the corrosive effect of HF.
