The National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) advises that for responsive patients exposed to hydrofluoric acid, immediate decontamination is the top priority. Even at relatively low concentrations, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is highly toxic and can cause serious tissue damage or even death if treatment is delayed. Rapid intervention is crucial in preventing long-term harm.

C-Gel is a high-performance calcium gluconate gel specifically formulated to neutralise the fluoride ions present in hydrofluoric acid. By combining with these ions, C-Gel helps to reduce pain and limit tissue damage caused by HF acid exposure. This gel plays a critical role in managing the effects of HF acid, especially during the critical window while the patient is being transported to hospital for further treatment.

C-Gel is user-friendly, easy to apply, and can be self-administered or applied by a trained first aider. The gel is available in a 40g tube, making it portable and readily accessible for quick application in emergency situations.

Hydrofluoric acid is commonly encountered in various industrial and manufacturing processes, including industrial chemistry, mining, refining, glass finishing, silicon chip manufacturing, and sanitation. In such environments, having C-Gel readily available can make a crucial difference in mitigating the harmful effects of HF acid exposure.

Key Features:

• High-performance calcium gluconate gel for neutralising fluoride ions in hydrofluoric acid
• Helps to prevent tissue damage and pain caused by HF acid exposure
• Essential for use during transit to hospital following HF acid contamination
• Easy to apply, suitable for self-administration or by a first aider
• Supplied in a 40g tube, ensuring portability and accessibility in emergency situations

C-Gel is an essential addition to first aid supplies in any environment where hydrofluoric acid is used, providing swift relief and reducing the risk of serious injury. Be prepared and ensure quick decontamination and treatment in industrial settings where exposure to this dangerous chemical is possible.
