Constant cleanliness at critical points
07 March 2013
Increasing the visibility of hand wash units is essential to prevent the spread of deadly infections such as norovirus and C-Difficile says Teal. 'Prevention is key throughout winter when immune systems are at their lowest,' explains Manty Stanley, MD at Teal.

Increasing the visibility of hand
wash units is essential to prevent
the spread of deadly infections
such as norovirus and C-Difficile
says Teal. 'Prevention is key
throughout winter when
immune systems are at their
lowest,' explains Manty Stanley,
MD at Teal.
The company has worked with healthcare organisations for over 10 years to deliver solutions to hygiene and plumbing problems.
'Alcohol gels do not work on all viruses. Hands must be washed under hot water with soap, but the logistics of ensuring a hand wash facility is always available can be problematic,' says Stanley.
Teal manufactures portable, hot water hand wash units which require no access to mains water or drainage.
The Hygienius Prowash has touch-free operation to minimise the possibility of infection being transmitted via contact with the sanitaryware and is available within 24 hours for sale or hire in the UK.
That's particularly valuable for hospitals having to handle an outbreak.
A specially-designed wash cycle, powered by Teal's Greensensor, delivers a wash-and-rinse that exactly matches the requirement of the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) for the NHS.
