Additions to the NHS catalogue

Tork Premium Extra Mild Soap plus two Tork hand lotion products have now been included in the NHS Supply Chain catalogue.

This means that together with the range of Tork hand towels, toilet tissue and facial tissue products listed with the NHS Supply Chain,Tork manufacturer SCA now provides NHS hospitals with a comprehensive hygiene solution.

Tork Premium Extra Mild Liquid Soap is suitable for medical and care settings as it can be used on frequently-washed or sanitised hands without causing an allergic reaction. It is perfume and colourfree and comes in a soap cartridge that is sealed to protect the soap from contamination.

SCA NHS account manager Paula Howard said:"Selling soap into the NHS can be quite a complex issue since they have their own stringent infection control testing procedures.This is the first time we have submitted a soap product for NHS listing and we were successful at the first attempt.

"Tork Premium Extra Mild Liquid Soap passed all the tests and will begin appearing in NHS hospitals from April." Also newly listed by the NHS Supply Chain is Tork Premium Hand Lotion which is available in a 475ml bottle and a new 50ml personal issue bottle.

Tork Premium Hand Lotion is perfume and colour-free but has added vitamin E to help restore the natural properties of the skin.

Both the soap and Tork Premium Hand Lotion are accredited with Nordic Swan environmental certification, while Tork Premium Extra Mild Liquid Soap also holds the EU Ecolabel.

Tork also supplies the NHS with a range of hand towels including Tork Advanced Zigzag Fold.

Other Tork products used within the NHS include Tork jumbo toilet rolls,Tork folded toilet paper and Tork Facial Tissues in three pack sizes.
