BBP stands for blood borne pathogens.
I mentioned in a previous post about natural cleaners; working with placentas requires knowledge and implementation of safety policies and procedures. Because there is a risk of infections and cross contamination when dealing with blood products a lot of the supplies I use to process a placenta are not reusable. This is standard in labs, hospitals & birth centers.
For each placenta I use the following single use items
- cooler
- baggies for ice
- chux pad
- cutting board
- knife and/or scissors
- paper towels
- latex free gloves
- scrubbing pad for day 1
- scrubbing pad for day 2
- 2 plastic bags
The products I reuse after properly cleaning and sanitizing
- colander
- steamer
- dehydrator
- capsule machine
- grinder
- sifter
- stainless steel bowls
Using industry standards in cleaning and sanitizing reusable equipment and opting for disposable products when indicated, I strive to provide my clients with SAFE, Caring, Professional service.
