Sterile dressing materials from SÖHNGEN® have a shelf life of 20 years from the date of manufacture, provided the sterile packaging is undamaged and stored properly.

Relevant literature and standards works summarize the state of the art as follows: the loss of sterility is considered to be event-related and not time-related – that is, specifically: due to opening or damage to the packaging. Therefore, sterile products require careful handling and storage. First aid containers from SÖHNGEN® are exemplary in this respect. Common wound plasters do not come under the heading of sterile dressing materials. The usability here, especially with regard to adhesive strength, depends on the storage temperature. The adhesive strength of the plasters should be checked regularly.

No. However, W.Söhngen GmbH is already working on the introduction and firm implementation of ISO-9001.

DIN standards only contain a conceivable recommendation as a basis for the company first aid system. Here, DIN 13157 and DIN 13169 can be regarded as basic equipment. However, depending on the risk of accidents in the individual sectors, it is recommended to acquire needs-oriented first aid equipment.

In the standard filling you will find a variety of SÖHNGEN® own brand dressing materials, such as our leading dressing material “aluderm®”, which with their quality go far beyond the DIN standard.

The standard fillings are DIN-compliant products and dressing materials that meet your application according to purpose.

Our PLUS fillings are equipped with both a DIN-compliant filling part and an occupational group-specific extension, which not only meets the DIN, but also the individual requirements in the most diverse occupational groups.

Yes, in our assortment we have many different products with fillings according to ÖNORM:

• ÖNORM Z1020-1 – For operational first aid boxes
• ÖNORM Z1020-2 – For service first aid kits
• ÖNORM V5100 – For single-track motor vehicles
• ÖNORM V5101 – For multi-lane motor vehicles

Schools, kindergartens and daycare centers are considered workplaces just like any administrative or industrial operation and are therefore subject to the same Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR). The equipment required depends on the number of employees and other potential hazards.

Since there is no standard for first aid fillings in the area of children and adolescents, we have compiled a selection of products based on the most common causes of accidents that provide the user with the best possible first aid for external wounds/injuries in children and adolescents. However, these fillings do not replace the requirements of DIN 13157 / 13169 for employees in the respective company.
