Why are RxCarbon® Poly Chemo Mats the color gray? RxCarbon Poly Mats have two layers of RP718 activated carbon which makes our patented mats appear gray. RP718 activated carbon sequesters oncology and hazardous drugs, mitigating exposure risks to both practitioners and our environment.
Company Background
RxCarbon®, LLC was founded in 2019, and our pads are protected by U.S. Patent #11,344,933. RxCarbon is the only absorbent pad that sequesters liquid controlled and hazardous drugs with two layers of RP718 activated carbon. We started out looking for a way to eliminate illegal diversion of narcotics. RxCarbon® Pad was developed for existing RCRA and Sharps waste containers to help address illegal diversion from waste containers. Our pads can easily be placed inside waste containers by end users or waste container manufacturers as a replacement of the current absorbent pads.
After designing the pad, we recognized a need to address USP 797 and USP 800 standards and decided to add an impermeable backing to the pad, creating RxCarbon® Poly. Practitioners handling hazardous drugs during compounding, infusions, transporting, or as a clean-up wipe can use RxCarbon Poly.
Product Overview
RxCarbon® Poly Chemo Mat product line comes in sterile and non-sterile versions, is 11×17″ lying flat, and can be used as a clean-up wipe. Each mat has an absorption capacity of 600 mL. Our sterile version is validated sterile and gamma irradiated. We designed RxCarbon Poly to provide surface protection during compounding, infusions, transporting, and as clean-up wipes. Practitioners handling hazardous drugs risk occupational exposure. RxCarbon absorbent pads sequester liquid hazardous drugs and reduce continued exposure and cross-contamination. RxCarbon Poly Mats meet ISO 9073-10 and BS EN 13795 standards for low lint. RxCarbon provides increased safety and lower cost when comparing other blue chemo mats.
Testimonial
Mitigating Hazardous Drug Contamination
“As studies have repeatedly shown, hazardous drugs often migrate past compounding hoods and work surfaces as far as counters, doorknobs, and elevator buttons. The new RxCarbon pads and wipes are a major leap forward in providing a simple, cost-effective method for greatly reducing contamination by these pharmaceuticals that are life-saving when administered appropriately but potentially harmful when present consistently in the work environment. I have personally witnessed the absorption capacity of the pads which is also a benefit in the case of spills or a leaking IV set. I highly recommend them for both hazardous drug compounding areas and hazardous drug administration settings. Using the RxCarbon® wipes routinely during compounding and adding them to all HD spill kits is the next step in reducing routine contamination and protecting employees and patients.” — Charlotte A.
