- I literally just got back
from dropping off the
Fusion UV unit at FedEx,
so it's on its way back to Sios
when I arrived home to find this box
(bell chimes)
on my front porch.
Now, a couple of things while I work
on getting it opened up and unpacked.
I don't get paid for this!
This is not some kind of sponsored ad.
Here at Laramy-K OpticianWorks,
we pride ourselves on
being as vendor neutral
as we possibly can.
Heck, I don't even get to keep this stuff.
The bottom line here is pretty simple.
If you aren't working, we, Laramy-K,
we aren't working either.
So, we are doing what we can to find ways
to make your job, optician,
safer and easier to do
in these difficult times.
I really do believe
that some of these items
can help you do that,
so let's take a look inside
and see what we have here.
(packaging tape parting)
And we'll take a look at the
other items in the catalog
as well.
Let's get going!
I've got some of the products here,
and we'll play with the ones that I have,
and we'll talk a little bit
about the ones that I don't.
Prevention and protection
for your practice
from Sios Santinelli
International Optical Supply.
Now, Sios is the American distributor
for the CentroStyle out of Italy.
We talked about the UV frame sterilizer,
or the Fusion UV unit
last time we got together,
so there's no reason to go over that.
Response to that video has
been overwhelming by the way.
Pre-printed sanitized tags.
Now in my mind, I always
think of the place I worked,
which was fairly small,
in my head, it would be
anything that was on the board
would be sterilized, anything that wasn't
would be something that would
have to be treated again.
But of course, that's not always the case.
Some places are huge,
and different people have different tasks,
and there'll be different piles of stuff
sitting around through the day,
so you're never sure what has
been treated and what hasn't,
so we have got these handy
tags, and we would just
throw those on if you were in doubt.
And these are reusable of course.
And then of course, your
customer would be sure
that this particular frame
has in fact been sanitized.
Ultrasonic cleaners, I don't
have one of those here.
My own history with ultrasonic cleaners
has really been pretty hit or miss,
but maybe they've improved
since I used one last time.
They're a great idea.
Look in the lower right hand corner here.
BACTICLEAN RTU DISINFECTANT.
"Used undiluted, this formula is effective
against corona and other viruses."
So, it can be used as an
ultrasonic cleaner solution
or just sprayed onto hard
surfaces around the order,
office.
So you know, that combination,
ultrasonic cleaner and
the actual disinfectant
that is designed to address
the corona and other viruses,
that might be a hell of a
winning combination there.
I know hand sanitizer and disinfectants
are a little bit hard to come by.
I was lookin' for some basic
old Fantastik or 409 cleaner
for my workshop, and the
shelves are cleaned out,
Amazon's cleaned out,
so if I could buy a cube or
a gallon of hand sanitizer
or surface disinfectant,
that would be a pretty good thing
to get my hands on right now.
Also have alcohol wipes.
Current maximum order is
a quantity of 5 on those.
There are a couple of notes,
the fine print if you will,
on that page that I need
you to pay attention to.
(bell chimes)
Those two.
"To disinfect," now, disinfect
means that you're attempting
to kill 100% of the germs and viruses
that are on that surface,
or basically trying to
make a sterile surface.
It says that surfaces must
remain wet for 3 minutes,
then allowed to air dry.
For the Norovirus
surfaces must remain wet for 10 minutes!
Okay, really pay attention there.
Then allowed to air dry.
To me that would mean making
a cloth, or a towel damp,
moist, not saturated,
not dripping, but damp
and leaving it on that
surface for 10 full minutes,
setting a timer on my phone.
Your high-use areas,
your dispensing table
at the end of the day,
your intake desk, those places.
Now to sanitize, that takes 10 seconds,
and then allow it to air dry.
So please, read these
instructions, follow them.
Yes guys, you need to
read the instructions
and follow them as well,
and it's the only way you're
really gonna be safe there,
so be careful.
Let's see what's next.
Anti-Fog Aides we're actually gonna cover
in a separate video, we
have a couple of our own
through the lab,
and so we'll combine those
three or four together.
We have the Seg Height Measuring Tool.
A seg gauge, if you will.
And if I wanted to,
if I needed to take a segment height,
or a fitting height for a progressive,
what's wonderful about these
is unlike a dot alone,
if I put these on, I put these on you,
and I take out my pen and I dot,
looking at you, I can immediately tell
how high my fitting height is.
I don't have to take them off of you,
take out a PD stick, measure my dot,
and then realize that
I'm either pass or fail.
This, because I can tell immediately
if you're at my magic, beautiful 18,
I don't have to take the
glasses on and off repeatedly.
So, it's a safety thing.
Signage!
We've got some signage here,
I'll show you those on the floors as well.
Got a nice, "WAIT HERE STOP THE SPREAD."
And we've got our actual
standing one here as well.
And we'll play with those
a little bit on the floor.
They are designed to
be stuck to the floor.
Removable and repositionable,
textured non-skid laminated coating,
ideal for hard surface floorings,
but not for carpeting.
Floor Strips, we've got
two different kinds,
we've go the green and the yellow.
I don't know if you can see,
I'll get you a closeup.
That's actually a glasses pattern.
This could be used as full strips,
these can be cut as well.
We'll play around with this a little bit
in our intro there.
(funky hiphop music)
And you can see you can, you know,
design your offices however you want,
and see if you they can't
help you herd the cats
so to speak.
(cat growling)
Protection for Instruments.
This is the pupillometer one.
Now, I did play around with this
for just a couple of moments
(plastic crunching)
before goin' live here.
And it took me a few minutes
to kind of figure out,
first of all how this would
work, and if it would work,
and put this on.
(screen flexing)
There we go.
And you see like, well that's kinda weird,
I can't really get my nose here.
But of course if I had a hole here,
then I would just be breathing on you.
So, it's actually designed
specifically to work that way,
and it's a heck of a nice sized shield.
And I can put my nose up there,
I can still see just fine,
beautiful clear-white green there.
Good shield, and it has
to function this way.
It's a little weird, it
seems a little awkward,
but heck, it would certainly work,
it's got a lot of coverage.
And let's face it, this is the
single most dangerous thing
you're gonna do at your job
as an optician these days.
This is really gettin'
up and close and personal
with somebody.
If I had to take PDs using a
corny old reflex pupillometer,
I would have one of these.
They have other stuff
like that for slit lamps,
auto-refractors, tonometers,
they had little chin-rest,
forehead-rest tissue packets.
They have an entire series
of plexiglass protection
dividers, different sizes.
I have asked them if they
would please consider
making an hourglass shaped one,
I would like to be able to reach around,
do this,
do this.
Reach around and do this, maybe.
It seems like a little cutout there
would be a little bit more helpful,
and a little bit more catered
towards the working optician,
we'll see if they take
up my suggestion or not.
We have face masks,
which I understand are a
little bit hard to get,
but you got 'em.
The mask ear saver, let's
take a look at that.
Now, I have WHNPDs Disease.
And I think connected to that,
my ears are also quite
far back on my head.
One of 'em is also a little
higher than the other one,
but we won't mention that.
And although this mask is fixed,
you can use these to kind of extend
the reach a little bit,
so it's a little bit
more comfortable to wear.
Put my mask on right.
You can see it's relieving that,
it's not pulling on my
ears, it's spreading it out,
it's dissipating the pull
across the back of my head,
which is far more comfortable.
And then we have our
shield, face shield kit.
Let's take a look at that.
Let's see it.
Again, maybe if I didn't
have my pupillometer shield,
this thing could come in rather handy.
(plastic flexing)
Yeah, I mean, that would work!
Could still use this if I had to.
Could still work with you, talk with you.
Certainly blocking my
breath going towards you.
We've got safety goggles!
Let's take a look at these things.
Well, they are huge.
They're also European
approved, ANSI approved.
For their size, they
actually fit quite well.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- I make this look good.
- They're very inexpensive,
and if you combine this with a mask,
I'd say you've got a pretty
good level of protection here.
They have nitrile gloves,
those are an excellent choice,
and a little bit hard to find,
so if they've got them I might grab a box.
Now, at the end of this video
there's gonna be a list of websites.
I asked my wife, who's a
family nurse practitioner,
nursing instructor, doctor,
to gather up some good sources for you.
First on how to properly wear a mask,
two, and how to properly and use gloves,
and there's even one there
on how to maintain a sterile field.
Of course, it's not what you're
tryin' to do as an optician,
but it'll give you a
little bit better idea
about how difficult it
is to maintain control
over your environment.
And the last item is
our digital thermometer.
Now, I would strongly
urge you once you get this
to open up and carefully
read the instructions.
There's a lotta setup here.
You can do, of course,
fahrenheit or celsius,
you can color code it,
you can high-low code it,
you can use actual temperature readings,
and there's some tips on how
to get an accurate reading,
dos and don'ts about when
you do take a temperature
and when you don't.
Nicely made and,
(high pitched beep)
you set it up the way you want.
And that is that!
There is the address for Sios.
If you want to go ahead,
go online and order
any of their personal
protective equipment items.
