Frequently Asked Questions about GIPskins PPE

About GIPskins PPE

Why are GIPskins PPE classed as Personal Protective Equipment?

How will GIPskins PPE protect me from infections?

Currently, disposable gloves only protect up to the wrist, leaving the arm vulnerable to infections from skin to skin contact.

When delivering personal care, bodily fluids such as faeces, urine, vomit and blood frequently make contact with the skin above the wrist, thus placing service providers at risk of catching infections. GIPskins PPE will protect your arms from this risk and thereby improve infection control and reduce the opportunities for cross-contamination within the environment.
