Hand hygiene specialist TEAL is celebrating the success of it portable Hygienius® hot water hand wash unit which is providing an instant ablution solution in over 80 hospitals all over the UK.
Since launching the innovative product two years ago, more and more Acute and Primary Care Trusts have invested in the equipment which has a variety of applications within a medical environment.
From Grampian to Gloucester and Sussex to Salford, Hygienius® units are being used:
• to supplement existing hand washing facilities on wards
• to provide emergency back up for outbreaks of swine flu and other super bugs
• to give hospital visitors a high visibility place to wash their hands
• as a training aid for infection control nurses.
Quick, easy and hygienic
The Prowash® and Hygienius® models require no fixed plumbing, are operational within minutes and don’t have the potential pitfalls associated with Legionella that can come with conventional sinks and pipe work.
TEAL units heat water instantaneously and feature low pressure spray heads rather than taps. A simple and quick disinfection routine is all that is needed to eradicate contamination.
The Prowash® has the added advantage of automatically delivering a hot water hand wash that exactly matches National Health Service requirements as described in the document Hand washing techniques with soap and water produced by the National Patient Safety Agency – allowing staff and hospital visitors to have a hand wash that meets the guidelines every time they use it.
