About this deal

The NHS England and NHS Improvement patient safety team is the first national body to have been accredited to issue National Patient Safety Alerts by the National Patient Safety Alerting Committee (NaPSAC). All National Patient Safety Alerts are required to meet NaPSAC’s thresholds and standards . These thresholds and standards include working with patients, frontline staff and experts to ensure alerts provide clear, effective actions for safety-critical issues. Small products like crutch ferrules will be sent via Royal Mail, larger items like wheelchairs & ramps will be sent via courier. Someone will have to be there to sign for the delivery. A National Patient Safety Alert has been issued around the risk of ingesting superabsorbent polymer gel granules. Vernagel is a super absorbent powder which prevents spillages and leaks by solidifying liquids.Soluble 6g sachet gels up to 1 litre of fluid. This powder is designed specifically to cope with bodily fluids - trapping them in a dry, semi-solid gel that is convenient and easy to dispose of which also means that patients are saved the embarrassment and indignity, which often follows an accidental spill.

Vernagel solidifies bodily fluids, this prevents any spillages particularly when the bedpan or bottle is taken from the patient. Cross infection can occur when bodily fluids spill onto beds, floors or onto other patients or equally when bedpans and urinals are taken to the sluice room. NaPSAC requires providers to introduce new systems for planning and coordinating the actions required by any National Patient Safety Alert across their organisation, with executive oversight.
