Where mercury sphygs are still in use a mercury spill kit should always be available to hand for the safe protection of persons and the environment in the case of a mercury spillage.

The Mercury Spills Kit contains everything that will be needed with the exception of a mercury vapour protection respirator*.

Contents:

• 2 Collection Units, each containing a mercury aspirator (syringe)
• Scrapers
• Amalgamating powder
• Collection sponges
• Protective apron
• Protective nitrile gloves
• Additionally the kit contains re-usable items such as the mercury spill warning card, dampening spray, warning tape and full instructions for use.

Everything that is used goes back into the Collection Unit, which is then sealed with the tape and the whole unit then goes to disposal according to Local Authority Regulations or official hospital procedure.
