Cromwell Polythene marks its return to ISSA Interclean with the launch of a new healthcare range that builds on the company’s ‘Wave’ examination gloves. Complementing the blue nitrile, clear and synthetic vinyl gloves introduced last year, Cromwell had added disposable aprons, available in blue or white and packed in dispenser packs of 100 or rolls of 200.
Also available is a range of UN accredited clinical waste sacks, manufactured from a high proportion of recycled polyethylene. The range includes yellow sacks – available with or without printing and used for incinerating hazardous waste such as body parts and organs, blood bags and blood preserves,
including category A waste; printed orange bags for the treatment of infectious and potentially infectious waste at a licensed/permitted facility and yellow striped or ‘Tiger’ bags, in which offensive/hygiene waste may be landfilled.
Available in varying capacities and packed loose or in rolls of 20 or 25, the specialist sacks are held in stock at Cromwell’s 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse for immediate despatch.
Completing the ‘Wave’ line-up is a range of healthcare disposables, including sanitary bin liners, draw tape sanitary liners, specimen bags and black refuse sacks.

UK shopkeeper, Dinesh Gorania, has been captured on CCTV fending off a machete- wielding raider and accomplices with the aid of a mop.
Dinesh was mopping up just inside the doorway of the store when three masked men pulled up in a car. One of the robbers, armed
with a two-foot machete, burst into the store only to be struck by Dinesh's mop, which forced him backwards.
Two other masked robbers joined in the attempted robbery, with one throwing a metal bar at Dinesh, which he successfully blocked with his forearm.
Commenting after the incident Dinesh told reporters: "After my son said 'there are robbers coming', I got the mop and hit him, I wasn't giving them the chance to hit me first.”
The would-be robbers retreated to their vehicle and have yet to be caught by police.
