The company offers a wide range of products designed to ensure protection, hygiene, and safety in clinical and operational activities, including disposable gloves, body and respiratory protection devices, medical procedure items, and solutions for hygiene and contamination prevention.
Products distributed by Bericah are used in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, healthcare facilities, care services, and professional settings, and are developed in compliance with European regulations applicable to medical devices (MD) and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Thanks to its consolidated experience in the sector and a distribution network active in Italy and across several European markets, Bericah represents a reliable partner in the supply of disposable solutions for safety and protection in healthcare and professional environments.
The choice of a medical device or personal protective equipment mainly depends on the intended use, the level of risk, and the operational context in which the product is used.
In healthcare and professional settings, it is important to evaluate factors such as the type of activity, duration of use, required level of protection, and the technical characteristics of the material. In many cases, it is also necessary to verify compliance with European regulations applicable to medical devices and PPE.
Devices distributed by Bericah are designed to meet the needs of different professional contexts, offering reliable solutions for operator protection and contamination prevention.
Instructions for use of medical devices and PPE are provided inside the product packaging and in the related technical data sheet.
These documents indicate the correct usage methods, storage conditions, usage limits, and any safety precautions. Instructions for use are essential to ensure that the product is used in compliance with regulations and to guarantee the appropriate level of protection during operations.
To consult or request technical data sheets and compliance documentation, please contact our Quality Department at: qualita@bericah.it.
Yes. Bericah distributes various types of disposable devices designed to meet the needs of specific healthcare and professional contexts, such as hospital departments, clinics, laboratories, care facilities, and emergency services.
Different product lines are developed to support activities such as diagnostic procedures, patient care, surgical interventions, and laboratory work, ensuring protection and hygiene at every operational stage.
These solutions are used across many healthcare and professional environments, contributing to improved safety for operators and patients, as well as better biological risk management.
The choice of a disposable glove depends on the type of activity, the required level of protection, and the material used in its production.
In healthcare and professional settings, it is important to consider factors such as material resistance, tactile sensitivity, duration of use, and potential exposure to chemicals or biological agents.
Disposable gloves can be made from different materials, including nitrile, latex, vinyl, or synthetic materials, each offering specific characteristics in terms of elasticity, resistance, and comfort. The most suitable choice depends on the operational context and applicable regulations.
Disposable gloves can be made from various materials, including nitrile, natural latex, and vinyl, each with specific characteristics that make them more suitable for certain applications.
Nitrile gloves are appreciated for their good chemical and mechanical resistance and for being latex-free. Latex gloves generally offer high elasticity and excellent tactile sensitivity. Vinyl gloves are a more economical solution, typically used in contexts with lower contamination risk.
The choice of material depends on the type of activity, required protection level, and user needs.
AQL, or Acceptable Quality Level, is a parameter used in quality control to indicate the maximum acceptable level of defects within a production batch.
For disposable gloves, AQL is used to verify glove integrity and detect any micro-perforations that could compromise protection. A lower AQL value generally indicates stricter quality control standards.
This parameter is particularly important in healthcare settings, where product quality directly contributes to the safety of operators and patients.
Acronyms used for disposable device materials refer to different types of synthetic materials used in the production of protective and healthcare items.
For example, TNT refers to nonwoven polypropylene fabric, a lightweight and durable material used for gowns, caps, and other disposable devices. SMS is a multilayer material made of spunbond and meltblown layers, designed to provide enhanced barrier performance.
Materials such as PE (polyethylene), HDPE, or LDPE are used to produce waterproof or protective devices, while other materials are engineered to ensure specific properties such as resistance, breathability, or protection.
Many disposable gloves use a color-coding system to quickly identify available sizes.
This system allows operators to easily recognize the correct glove size through the color associated with each size on the packaging. Color coding facilitates stock management, product distribution, and the selection of the most suitable device during operations.
When a medical device or disposable glove is indicated as suitable for protection against cytotoxic agents, it means it has been designed to reduce the risk of permeation by chemotherapy drugs used in oncology treatments.
These drugs can be potentially hazardous to healthcare workers during preparation, administration, or disposal phases. Therefore, specific devices are designed and tested to provide an adequate protective barrier against such substances.
Disposable masks are made from various filtering materials designed to provide protection against particles, aerosols, and environmental contaminants.
Depending on the type, masks can be used in healthcare or professional settings to reduce the risk of biological agent transmission and to protect the operator during daily activities.
Mask performance depends on the filtration capacity of the material, the multilayer structure, and the proper fit on the user's face.

Choosing the correct glove size is important to ensure comfort, tactile sensitivity, and protection during use.
A properly sized glove fits snugly without being too tight or too loose. A glove that is too small may cause material tension and reduce resistance, while a glove that is too large may decrease movement precision, tactile sensitivity, and overall protection.
