Stations on hand for germ control

According to Manty Stanley from Teal Patents:"Technology now means you can have a hot water handwash with liquid soap almost anywhere and that's the only way you can eradicate crossinfection of HCAIs such as c-diff and norovirus." He continues:"Our work with the NHS should be providing portable hot water handwash units so they can be strategically positioned to encourage both medical teams and visitors to make preventative use of them.

However,we're often only called when trouble strikes and there's a need to enforce handwashing to rid the ward of an infection.

"Alcohol hand gels and foams fail to kill the majority of contaminants including the deadly clostridiumdifficile or norovirus.1. If hands are visibly soiled, you must wash them with hot water and soap." TEAL Patents offer a range of portable, selfcontained hot water handwash stations of which some of the leading NHS trusts use for management of infection outbreaks and when water supply is disrupted during building works and maintenance.
