Purpose-built recyclable showerhead

Looking ‘to revolutionise’ the way estates teams countrywide deal with the ACoP L8’s requirement for quarterly de-scaling and deep cleaning of showerheads and hoses, Dupal UK has created a purpose-built recyclable showerhead

The company said: “We are aware of the uphill battle estates teams face while managing the quarterly compliance for showerheads and hoses – not only the physical task of getting the job done with added chemical risk, but then the lengthy auditing process that follows to satisfy the Infection Control team. 

“The disposable showerhead concept is not new, and some hospitals already throw away and replace showerheads and hoses every quarter, rather than clean them. Thousands of showers being put to landfill or incinerated every quarter at great financial and environmental cost is something that must change. The aptly named L8 Shower offers a simple solution, with proven antibacterial properties, and colour coding to enable 100% certainty that all units are replaced.” Old units are collected by Dupal and ‘recycled correctly’. 

The company added: “The system dramatically saves time, reduces risk to both estates teams and patients, satisfies the environmental factor, and works out cheaper than the now oldfashioned method of cleaning.”
