Frequently asked questions
It is an alcohol-based antiseptic hand sanitizer/hand hygiene solution designed for rapid skin disinfection and antimicrobial action without the need for soap and water; often used in healthcare and general hygiene settings.
No. It is a waterless handrub, meaning you apply directly to dry hands and rub until dry — no rinsing required.
Typical 3M Avagard antiseptic handrubs combine: • Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) — provides persistent antimicrobial action • Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol) — delivers rapid broad-spectrum kill of microbes The ratio in most current formulations is about 0.5% w/v CHG + 70% v/v Ethyl Alcohol.
According to 3M, some products have persistent antimicrobial action that lasts for up to about one hour after application, helping reduce microbial regrowth after initial use.
While official listings emphasize broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, ethanol-based sanitizers like Avagard are generally known to inactivate many viruses as well (though specific viral claims depend on regulatory approvals and test data).

Autoclave 15 Litre (Vertical Table-Top Steam Sterilizer)
Picture the dental clinic at 9am with a waiting room that is already full. The autoclave from the previous evening's sterilisation run has finished its cycle. The instruments are dry, bagged, and ready. The first patient goes straight into the chair without the nurse running to fetch anything. That ten-minute buffer between autoclave-ready and chair-ready exists because the steriliser did its job on schedule, at the right temperature, without drama. The 15-litre vertical table-top autoclave is exactly the right size for that clinical environment — dental clinics, small surgical units, GP practices, ophthalmic clinics, dermatology suites, and pathology laboratories. Not so large that it dominates a back room and takes forever to heat up, not so small that the instruments don't fit. Fifteen litres is the sweet spot for the settings that need steam sterilisation multiple times a day without the operational overhead of a large horizontal hospital autoclave. This is a vertical (top-loading) steam steriliser with a stainless steel interior chamber, a digital temperature controller and timer, and an automatic pressure control switch that cuts electrical input when the set working pressure is reached inside the chamber. The temperature range covers both the 121°C gravity displacement cycle (used for unwrapped, solid items and liquids) and the 134°C cycle (used for faster sterilisation of surgical instruments in many clinical settings). A water level indicator and a pressure gauge are fitted as standard. The silicone rubber gasket provides a reliable pressure seal at the lid, and the radial lock or wing-nut lid mechanism ensures safe operation. Safety features are multiple: automatic pressure release, overpressure safety valve, low water level cutoff to protect the heating element, and a locking lid that prevents opening under pressure. The stainless steel SS304 construction on inner chamber surfaces (and SS304/316 on deluxe models throughout) provides corrosion resistance and longevity appropriate for the demands of daily clinical use. For medical equipment distributors supplying dental networks, nursing home chains, diagnostic centre groups, and government health programmes — the 15-litre table-top autoclave is a procurement item that appears on virtually every new facility equipment list. Sara Wellness exports vertical autoclaves and other medical equipment to international wholesale buyers. One-on-one dealing, flexible MOQs, and fifteen years of export experience ensure the shipment arrives configured and documented correctly for the destination market.
Bellcross Disposable Safety Goggles (Transparent — Medical and Lab Use)
The eye occupies approximately 0.1% of the body surface area, yet occupational eye injuries account for roughly 10–15% of all workplace injuries. In a clinical setting, the risk is specific and well-documented: blood splash to the conjunctiva. A single blood splash exposure from an HIV-positive patient carries an estimated transmission risk of approximately 0.1% — lower than needlestick, but not zero, and entirely preventable with properly worn protective eyewear. Bellcross Disposable Safety Goggles are transparent, zero-power medical and laboratory protective eyewear designed for clinical environments. The clear polycarbonate lens provides unobstructed visibility — which matters when you are trying to see what you are doing with a needle or a scalpel — while the wrap-around frame eliminates the lateral, inferior, and superior gaps through which fluid can reach the eye when wearing standard safety glasses. Goggles, as opposed to safety glasses, are the appropriate specification when liquid splash from any direction is the primary risk. In hospital settings these goggles belong in HIV safety kits, trauma resuscitation rooms, blood collection stations where splash is possible, laboratory areas handling blood specimens, endoscopy units (scoping procedures generate fluid), oral surgery, and any procedural area where aerosol-generating procedures occur alongside bodily fluid management. The disposable format eliminates two problems that reusable goggles present: the decontamination compliance problem (reusable goggles that are not properly decontaminated between users carry the exact exposure risk they were meant to prevent), and the anti-fog maintenance problem (goggle anti-fog coatings degrade with cleaning and sterilisation cycles). Single-use goggles start fresh every time. Bellcross Industries manufactures safety goggles as part of its complete clinical PPE range from its Mumbai facility, established 1984. Forty years of disposable medical product manufacturing experience behind every pair. Sara Wellness exports Bellcross safety goggles to international wholesale buyers. Box quantities for clinical supply and full carton quantities for institutional or distribution purchasing.
Microgen Citrolive 5 Litre (Surface Disinfectant)
Surface disinfection in a hospital is not a choice you make once. It is a process that happens between every patient, after every procedure, at every shift change. The product you use for it needs to work reliably, be safe for staff handling it repeatedly throughout the day, and not damage the surfaces it is applied to. Finding all three in one product is less straightforward than the marketing would have you believe. Microgen Citrolive is a surface disinfectant cleaner formulated for use in clinical environments — operation theatres, ICUs, wards, dental operatories, and diagnostic laboratories. The formulation combines disinfecting action with surface compatibility, making it appropriate for application on medical equipment surfaces, trolleys, procedure tables, floors, and wall surfaces without the corrosive or residue problems that come with cheaper alcohol-only or bleach-based alternatives. The 5-litre can is the format hospitals and large clinics reach for when they are calculating consumption against patient throughput and ordering accordingly. It is concentrated enough to make the economics of large-scale institutional disinfection work, and the formulation is ready to dilute or use as directed for the contact time required to achieve the stated antimicrobial spectrum. For healthcare supply distributors, surface disinfectants are high-velocity consumables. Consumption correlates directly with patient throughput and infection control protocol compliance. A hospital running at capacity orders this on a weekly schedule. The 5-litre format is the most cost-effective unit for institutional supply chains. Sara Wellness exports infection control and disinfection products to healthcare distributors internationally. Fifteen years in this business means our documentation for chemical products is complete and our logistics partners handle bulk liquid shipments routinely.
