Non-Disposable Bibs

Original price was: KSh 1,450.00.Current price is: KSh 1,200.00.

Non-disposable bibs, also known as reusable dental or patient bibs, are washable protective garments used in dental clinics to shield patients’ clothing and skin from water, saliva, blood, and other materials during dental procedures. Unlike disposable paper bibs, these are made from durable, waterproof materials and can be cleaned, disinfected, and reused multiple times.

Non-Rebreather Mask (Adult)

Original price was: KSh 300.00.Current price is: KSh 250.00.
  • Purpose & Use

    • A non-rebreather mask (NRM) is a high-flow oxygen delivery device used in emergencies or critical care to deliver high concentrations of oxygen (60–100%).

    • Commonly used for patients with severe hypoxia, respiratory distress, or trauma.

    • Designed to prevent exhaled air from mixing with oxygen, ensuring maximum oxygen delivery.

  • Structure & Components

    • Mask: fits over the nose and mouth with a soft, flexible cushion for comfort and minimal leakage.

    • Reservoir bag: attached to the mask, holds a supply of oxygen for inhalation.

    • One-way valves:

      • Between the mask and reservoir bag to allow inhalation of pure oxygen.

      • On exhalation ports to prevent rebreathing of exhaled air.

    • Elastic straps: secure the mask to the patient’s face.

    • Oxygen tubing connector: attaches to oxygen sources or flowmeters.

  • Performance & Flow Rate

    • Delivers high oxygen concentrations (up to 100%) when properly fitted.

    • Requires oxygen flow of 10–15 L/min to keep the reservoir inflated and ensure effectiveness.

    • One-way valves prevent rebreathing of CO₂, unlike simple masks.

  • Advantages

    • Provides maximum oxygen delivery in emergencies without intubation.

    • Simple, lightweight, and easy to apply.

    • Rapidly increases oxygen saturation in hypoxic patients.

    • Disposable and single-patient use reduces infection risk

Non-Rebreather Mask (Paediatric)

Original price was: KSh 350.00.Current price is: KSh 250.00.
  • Purpose & Use

    • A paediatric non-rebreather mask is used to deliver high concentrations of oxygen (60–100%) to children and infants experiencing severe hypoxia, respiratory distress, or trauma.

    • Designed to prevent exhaled air from mixing with supplied oxygen, ensuring maximum oxygen delivery to the patient.

  • Target Patient Population

    • Sized specifically for neonates, infants, and children.

    • Fits appropriately to cover the nose and mouth of smaller patients without excessive dead space.

  • Structure & Components

    • Mask: soft, flexible material to ensure comfort and minimal leakage.

    • Reservoir bag: smaller than adult versions, stores oxygen for inhalation.

    • One-way valves:

      • Between the mask and reservoir bag to allow inhalation of oxygen only.

      • On exhalation ports to prevent CO₂ rebreathing.

    • Elastic or Velcro straps: adjustable to secure mask on a child’s face.

    • Oxygen tubing connector: connects to an oxygen source.

  • Performance & Flow Rate

    • Provides high oxygen concentration (up to 100%) when properly fitted.

    • Oxygen flow typically 10–15 L/min for older children, and 5–10 L/min for infants depending on size.

    • One-way valves prevent rebreathing of CO₂.

  • Advantages

    • Rapidly increases oxygen saturation in paediatric patients.

    • Simple and effective high-flow oxygen delivery without intubation.

    • Disposable, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

    • Lightweight and easy to apply to small patients.

  • Usage Guidelines

    • Ensure proper fit to minimize leaks.

    • Connect to appropriate high-flow oxygen source based on patient size.

    • Monitor oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and comfort continuously.

    • Check that the reservoir bag remains partially inflated during inspiration.

    • Used as a short-term intervention until more definitive airway support is available if needed.

Non-Setting Calcium Hydroxide

Original price was: KSh 1,800.00.Current price is: KSh 1,500.00.

Non-Setting Calcium Hydroxide is a radiopaque, water-based paste used in endodontics and restorative dentistry for its antibacterial, healing, and protective properties. Unlike setting types, it remains soft and does not harden, allowing it to be easily removed or replaced. It is mainly used for temporary root canal dressing, pulp capping, and intracanal medication.

Nylon Suture (Dozen Pack – All Sizes)

Original price was: KSh 600.00.Current price is: KSh 500.00.

Nylon Suture is a non-absorbable monofilament or multifilament surgical suture made from polyamide (nylon 6 or nylon 6,6). It is widely used for general soft tissue approximation and skin closure where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are desired.

Nylon Sutures

Original price was: KSh 650.00.Current price is: KSh 400.00.
  • Purpose & Use

    • Nylon sutures are synthetic, non-absorbable sutures used for closing skin, soft tissue, or surgical wounds.

    • Common in general surgery, plastic surgery, and minor procedures.

    • Often chosen for their high tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction.

  • Material & Properties

    • Made of nylon (polyamide), which is strong, smooth, and flexible.

    • Monofilament or braided forms:

      • Monofilament: single strand, less tissue drag, lower infection risk.

      • Braided: multiple fibers twisted together, stronger knot security but slightly higher infection risk.

    • Non-absorbable — stays in tissue until removed.

  • Sizes & Classification

    • Nylon sutures come in various sizes, typically ranging from 6-0 (very fine, used in delicate tissue like the face) to 5 or 4 (thicker, used in heavy tissue like fascia).

    • Size selection depends on tissue type, wound location, and desired cosmetic outcome.

  • Needles

    • Supplied pre-attached to surgical needles.

    • Needle types:

      • Curved needles (most common for internal tissues).

      • Straight needles (used in skin or minor procedures).

    • Needle shapes vary: reverse cutting, taper point, or cutting, depending on tissue type.

  • Packaging & Sterility

    • Usually individually sterile-packed, ready for use.

    • Available in single units or boxes containing multiple sutures of the same or mixed sizes.

  • Safety & Handling

    • Handle with sterile technique to avoid contamination or infection.

    • Non-absorbable — must be removed after wound healing (typically 5–14 days for skin, depending on location).
