Antiseptics and general medical consumables — single-use syringes and needles, IV administration sets, examination gloves, dressings and umbilical-cord care gel — supplied against an ISO 13485 quality route with full export documentation.

Medical devices & consumables: what the published guidance says

Consumables follow a different regulatory route from medicines, and procurement documents that treat them the same way run into trouble at the border. Where WHO guidance does apply, it is specific: chlorhexidine digluconate for umbilical cord care, and single-use or safety-engineered injection equipment.

  • Cord care is a named WHO intervention WHO recommends applying chlorhexidine digluconate to the umbilical cord stump in settings where neonatal mortality is high. The recommendation is about a specific antiseptic at a specific concentration, applied to a defined use. Source
  • Injection safety points to single-use equipment WHO guidance on injection safety and safety-engineered syringes addresses reuse directly: the equipment, not only the technique, is treated as part of the intervention. Source
  • Container and pack separation prevents administration errors The WHO information notice on ophthalmic chlorhexidine describes serious eye injury after a high-strength antiseptic was placed in the eye in error. Where an antiseptic and an eye drop can be confused by shape or colour, the pack design is a safety control. Source

  • Shelf life and storage conditions
  • Biocompatibility and, for sterile items, sterilisation method and validation

Questions buyers ask

Do medical devices need a marketing authorisation like a medicine?

No. Devices generally follow a different route — typically ISO 13485 as the quality system, with CE marking or national device registration depending on the market. Tell us the destination and we confirm the documents the authority expects.

Can you supply chlorhexidine for umbilical cord care?

Yes. Cord-care chlorhexidine digluconate gel and solution are supplied at the concentration used in the WHO recommendation, with the labelling separated clearly from ophthalmic products.

Are sterile syringes and IV sets available?

Single-use syringes, needles and IV administration sets are supplied sterile, with sterilisation validation and batch release documentation.
