Approximately 4” x 1” soluble film pouch containing super-absorbent powder. No measuring, no mess, no powder to handle; simply place the solidifier pouch into any small collection device. When fluids are added to the container, super-absorbent powder gels 600 fl mL in ≈ 2 ½ minutes. Does not affect the volume of liquid in cannisters
Can be used in any small container. Place pouch in container prior to filling with fluid. Pouch will dissolve, allowing solidifier to gel the fluid. For larger containers (and/or more fluid), use 2 or more pouches in the container. Does not create chemical plume.

The Importance of Properly Handling Bodily Fluids
Medical waste poses infection and cross-contamination risks in healthcare settings. Failure to follow disposal protocols can lead to employee exposure to several types of pathogens, decrease staff safety and increase costs related to exposure.
Using Bottles of Solidifiers Can Put Healthcare Workers and Patients at Risk
Measuring and pouring from the bottle can result in hazardous exposure for nurses • Loose powder can become airborne, increasing the risk of inhalation, which poses health dangers to both nurses and patients • Bottles may be discarded before being fully empty, leading to unnecessary waste
