Why You Still Need PPE Safety Supplies for COVID-19

We’ve endured a global pandemic for almost a year and the demand for PPE safety supplies is still rising. It’s especially important to stay protected with masks and gloves as flu season approaches. Additionally, hospitals and clinics are reaching low capacity and are running out of PPE and medical supplies to protect themselves and patients. This shortage of personal protective equipment can cause bigger issues if people can’t access the necessary resources to prevent spreading germs and bacteria.

The COVID-19 virus spreads through water droplets of the affected person that is released in bodily fluids from coughing, sneezing, or even speaking. In this case, PPE safety supplies like face masks, disposable gloves, gowns, and face shields are essential to keep not only our health care warriors safe but for the public’s health as well. Whether you work in the health care sector or the hospitality sector, it’s critical to have PPE safety supplies in stock to prevent the spread of disease among staff and patrons. Paired with CDC-approved protocols, together we can minimize the spread of COVID-19 and reduce patient intake for health care workers who have been working tirelessly for the past year. GDI Medical are trusted suppliers who have FDA-approved N95 respirator masks, disposable gloves and gowns, hand sanitizer, and much more in stock with fast shipping to help protect your staff.

COVID-19 is Not Over Yet

Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of 3-layered surgical masks has crossed to public use, just like other medical equipment like face shields and disposable nitrile gloves. It’s great that the general public is taking precautionary steps and prioritizing both their health and others, but health care workers are unable to keep up with patient intake with limited PPE supplies. Personal protective equipment is the only way for healthcare workers to effectively protect themselves and patients from getting infected and infecting others. PPE items are being used by frontline healthcare workers in response as they get ready for the fight each day. However, the shortage in supply is leaving our frontline warriors at risk with limited access to the gear or PPE supply kits. GDI Medical recognizes this problem and is the trust PPE supplier to buy PPE safety supplies in bulk so hospitals are equipped with the proper quantity and quality for personal protective equipment such as gloves, medical masks, goggles, face shields, and aprons.

Some suppliers are work with local and state agencies to provide secure supply chains and reduce the risk to hospitals and clinics around the world. The PPE supply industry is acting quickly to boost the supply while easing the export restrictions. COVID-19 can’t be stopped until healthcare workers are protected first!

Helps in Preventing Cross-Infection

The virus is able to thrive days after being expelled from the human body. Therefore, a PPE kit helps to protect our body parts from getting exposed to the contagious virus or contaminated surroundings. That being said, there is a considerable focus among health care staff on the equipment of PPE for infection control. 

Its full-proof design provides complete protection and avoids any infection to pass to or from the body ensuring complete safety from head to toe. Each part of the PPE gear is specifically designed to cover and safeguard a body part. It’s important to remember, and easy to forget that, PPE is only one part of the system to prevent the contamination of those exposed to the virus. Another integral part is exercising proper hand hygiene and abiding by safety regulations like county lockdowns and social distancing.

Not all PPE on the Market are the Same

There’s a difference in effectiveness between cloth masks, surgical masks, and N95 respirators. Not all PPE supplies available on the market are made with the same standards. Handmade cloth masks provided by the community aim are a green alternative to disposable masks but require additional layers to match with N95 effectiveness. Some retailers sell low-quality masks that don’t provide adequate protection. That’s why it’s important to rely on a trusted PPE and medical supplier like GDI Medical who provides FDA-approved equipment.
