SPLASHBLOCKER®
Product Features
A Chemical-Resistant, BPA-Free, Compliance-Driven, Novel Engineering Barrier Control The SPLASHBLOCKER® is:
Easy to Use
Light-weight (less than 1.75 pounds) and its product handle can fit all hand sizes.
Easy to Clean
May be cleaned with EPA-registered disinfectants such as Oxivir, Clorox, or sani-cloth bleach disposal wipes. The practice of cleaning our revolutionary engineering barrier control device is no different than cleaning and disinfecting a toilet seat.
Compliance-Driven
The SPLASHBLOCKER® serves as an additional control when considering compliance to both the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and USP 800 Hazardous Drugs Handling in Healthcare Settings. In fact, this barrier control is ideal for facilities that strive to go above and beyond baseline requirements.
Built to Last
Made from durable polycarbonate and has a life expectancy of one to two years.
Transparent
Because the product is manufactured from transparent medical grade materials, the nurse or caregiver using the SPLASHBLOCKERA® can see what is being flushed into the toilet or whether the urinal or bedpan has been properly cleaned and sanitized after using the toilet sprayer.
Environmentally Friendly
By using the SPLASHBLOCKER® in lieu of plastic-backed chuck pads, the SPLASHBLOCKER® promotes hospitals and healthcare facilities “Go Green” efforts. The SPLASHBLOCKER® is recyclable and it is made of a revolutionary, medical grade, chemical resistant, BPA-free copolyester called Eastman Tritan that is safer for the public and the environment. We go above and beyond for the well-being of future generations.
Readily Available
Hung on the bathroom wall next to the toilet for fast and convenient access.
Cost Effective
As the use of plastic-backed chuck pads are eliminated in covering toilets from the emission of toilet plume aerosol, the SPLASHBLOCKERA® saves hospitals and healthcare facilities on product inventory as well as on disposal and landfill costs.
Patented
The SPLASHBLOCKERA® is design patented in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, United Kingdom and the European Union. The SPLASHBLOCKER A® has a utility patent pending in the United States. It is covered by US D782,635 and related foreign design registrations with utility patents pending.

To protect caregivers, the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) recommends flushing the toilet with the lid down, especially 48-to-72 hours after a patient receives chemotherapy. Since most hospitals do not have protective lids, ONS recommends wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, chemotherapy gowns, respiratory masks, and face shields. ONS further recommends that nurses apply a plastic-backed chuck pad over the toilet before flushing. However, this action presents concerns about handling safety, disposal and landfill costs, chucks not readily available, and routine noncompliance.
When interviewed in a published survey, nurse managers cited several reasons for caregivers' noncompliance with personal protective equipment use when disposing human waste including, but not limited to, urgent patient situations, nurses too busy or rushed, and precautions being "too extreme". In fact, according to EPINet occupational mucocutaenous exposure incident data, when an employee has an exposure, 62% of all exposures were to the eyes, nose, and mouth, and less than 16% were wearing any kind of face protection (e.g., protective eye wear, faceshield, surgical mask).
With this situation in mind, how can nurses and caregivers readily protect themselves from the adverse health effects of disposing chemotherapeutically-tainted human waste as well as help hospitals and health care settings in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases? The early reviews by nurses and other healthcare workers of the SplashblockerA® indicate that the SPLASHBLOCKER® may provide a solution to enhance their protection. Improving environmental sustainability and providing cost savings for the hospital by significantly reducing the utilization of "blue chucks" are additional benefits of utilizing the SPLASHBLOCKER® over current practices.
