Prevent cross-contamination

23 December 2014

Tork manufacturer SCA offers a range of hand hygiene products designed to prevent cross-contamination in hygiene-critical healthcare environments.



Washroom providers in the healthcare sector need to work hard to ensure that their systems for delivering soap and hand towels help to prevent the risk of cross-contamination. Closed soap cartridges, long-lasting systems and no-touch dispensers all play their part in improving healthcare hygiene.


Tork Extra Mild Foam Soap comes in a sealed cartridge which means that any risk of contamination before use is eliminated. The dispenser has been designed to be easy to use even for people with low hand strength such as frail and elderly patients, and there is a touch-free Intuition sensor option available for enhanced hygiene. Each Tork Extra Mild Foam Soap cartridge holds 2,500 shots of soap – more than double the amount contained in a liquid soap dispenser of the same size. This means that the chance of essential soap supplies running out between maintenance checks is unlikely.


In hygiene-critical wash stations such as intensive care units, hand towels that are particularly soft to the touch will encourage frequent hand washing and drying among staff. Tork Xpress Extra Soft Multifold Hand Towels are kind to the skin while their high absorbency allows them to efficiently 'blot' the hands dry.


In patient washrooms, Tork Soft Singlefold Hand Towels provide a quick, easy and hygienic method of drying the hands. The towels are soft to the touch, while the dispenser gives out towels one at a time to prevent the risk of cross-contamination.


Finally, the high-capacity Tork Matic Hand Towel Roll dispenser works well in busy healthcare washrooms since the unit holds sufficient paper for more than 400 hand dries. Again the towels are dispensed one at a time to prevent cross-contamination.
