Accessories

Medical accessories simplify daily work in medical practices, hospitals, and care facilities. From glove dispensers to dosing pumps and breathing trainers, HaseMed offers well-designed helpers that make practice operations more efficient and hygienic.

Glove Dispensers (Wall-Mounted)

Glove dispensers enable the accessible and hygienic storage of disposable glove boxes on the wall. HaseMed offers models for different requirements:

• Single dispenser (1 box): Space-saving, ideal for the treatment room, reception, or patient room wall.
• Double dispenser (2 boxes): For two glove sizes side by side — e.g. size M and L. Practical in examination rooms where different staff members work.
• Triple dispenser (3 boxes): For three sizes (S, M, L) or different glove types (latex, nitrile, vinyl). The standard solution for operating areas and ward rooms.

When selecting, consider the material (stainless steel or coated metal for easy disinfection), compatibility with standard glove boxes, and secure wall mounting. HaseMed glove dispensers are made from coated steel and fit the standard box dimensions of most glove manufacturers.

Dosing Pumps for Bottles

Dosing pumps enable hygienic, metered dispensing of ultrasound gel, disinfectant, soap, and other liquids directly from the bottle. HaseMed offers dosing pumps in two variants:

• For 500 ml bottles: Compact, suitable for the treatment station and hand-wash station.
• For 1,000 ml bottles: For stationary use on the ultrasound table or at the disinfectant dispenser.

The pump mechanism is designed to dispense approximately 2 ml per stroke. This prevents unnecessary waste and ensures consistent dosing.

Cellulose Swab Dispenser Box

Cellulose swabs are standard equipment in every medical facility. The HaseMed dispenser box enables hygienic single-piece dispensing and protects the supply from dust and contamination. The box is refillable and can be easily placed on the work surface or mounted on the wall.

Breathing Trainers (Lung Trainers)

Breathing trainers (also called incentive spirometers or lung trainers) strengthen the respiratory muscles and assist in rehabilitation after surgery, management of chronic lung conditions, and pneumonia prevention. The HaseMed breathing trainer works on the principle of inspiratory muscle training: the patient breathes in against an adjustable resistance, which trains breathing depth and lung capacity.

• Adjustable resistance: Multiple levels allow individualised training from beginner to advanced.
• Visual feedback: Coloured balls or pistons indicate airflow and motivate the patient.
• Easy to clean: Dismantlable and dishwasher-safe for hygienic repeated use.

Medical accessories only deliver their full benefit when correctly installed, used, and maintained. The following tips help you get the most from HaseMed accessory products.

Mounting Glove Dispensers

Attach the dispenser with the supplied screws and wall plugs at a height of approximately 120 to 140 cm — this allows comfortable removal while standing. Choose a location within direct line of sight and reach of the treatment area. In multi-bed rooms, mounting next to the door is recommended so gloves are immediately accessible when entering.

• Changing boxes: Insert the glove box with the dispensing opening facing downward. Most glove boxes have a perforated bottom for single-piece removal.
• Cleaning: Wipe the dispenser regularly with a disinfectant wipe. The coated surface of HaseMed dispensers is resistant to standard surface disinfectants.
• Wet areas: For wet areas (e.g. washrooms), stainless steel dispensers are recommended as they are more corrosion-resistant.

Using and Maintaining Dosing Pumps

Screw the dosing pump onto the bottle and actuate it several times without load to prime the pump. For ultrasound gel, choose a pump size matching the bottle (500 ml or 1,000 ml). When switching products, rinse the pump thoroughly with warm water to remove residue.

HaseMed dosing pumps have a universal thread that fits the most common bottle sizes. For rarely used products, occasionally actuate the pump to prevent the product from drying in the pump channel.

Refilling the Cellulose Swab Box

Open the dispenser box lid and insert the cellulose swabs as a stack. Ensure the swabs are evenly aligned so that single-piece dispensing works smoothly. Refill the box before it is completely empty to avoid shortages during treatments.

Breathing Trainer: Training Plan and Hygiene

Start with the lowest resistance level and increase gradually. A typical training plan includes 3 sets of 10 breaths, 2–3 times daily. Take a 1 to 2-minute break between sets to avoid dizziness.

• After each session: Rinse the mouthpiece with clear water and allow to dry.
• Weekly: Clean all detachable parts in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.
• Personal use: In care facilities, each patient should have their own breathing trainer. Do not share mouthpieces between patients.

Medical accessories are subject to different standards and regulations depending on their product category. Understanding the relevant standards helps you select compliant and safe products for your facility.

DIN EN 455: Medical Gloves

While HaseMed offers glove dispensers rather than gloves themselves, knowledge of DIN EN 455 is relevant: this four-part standard governs the requirements for medical disposable gloves regarding freedom from holes (Part 1), physical properties (Part 2), biological evaluation (Part 3), and shelf life (Part 4). Glove dispensers should be designed to store gloves dust-free and dry, so as not to compromise compliance with this standard.

EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745)

Breathing trainers are classified as Class I medical devices with measuring function and must meet the requirements of MDR 2017/745. This includes CE marking, technical documentation, and a declaration of conformity. HaseMed breathing trainers are conformity-assessed under the MDR and approved for therapeutic use.

DIN EN ISO 13485: Quality Management

DIN EN ISO 13485 applies to all manufacturers and distributors of medical devices. For medical accessories, this means: documented manufacturing processes, controlled material selection, and an established complaints management system. HaseMed works exclusively with suppliers certified to ISO 13485 to ensure consistently high product quality.

KRINKO Recommendations: Hand Hygiene

The Commission for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention (KRINKO) recommends the immediate availability of disposable gloves at every treatment station. Wall-mounted glove dispensers support the implementation of this recommendation. Dispensers should be placed so that they are passed on the way to the patient — this promotes hand hygiene compliance.

Breathing Trainers: Pneumonia Prevention Guidelines

The S3 guideline on "Prevention of Nosocomial Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia" recommends the use of breathing trainers as a non-pharmacological measure for pneumonia prevention in post-operative patients. Regular breathing training with an incentive spirometer can significantly reduce the incidence of atelectasis and pneumonia. The HaseMed breathing trainer is designed for this purpose and is suitable for both inpatient and outpatient use.

Dosing Pumps: Hygiene Requirements

Dosing pumps for medical liquids must be designed to prevent contamination of the bottle contents through backflow. HaseMed dosing pumps feature an anti-backflow valve and are suitable for use with medical products such as ultrasound gel and skin disinfectants.
