Looking to revolutionise the way estates teams across the country deal with ACoP L8’s requirement for quarterly descaling and deep cleaning of showerheads and hoses, Dupal UK have created a purpose built recyclable showerhead.
“We are aware of the uphill battle estates teams face whilst 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 Infection Control.”
The idea of a disposable showerhead is not new and some hospitals already throw away and replace showerheads and hoses every quarter rather than clean. Knowing that thousands of showers are being put to landfill or incinerated every quarter at great financial and environmental cost is something that needs to change.
The aptly named L8 Shower® is the simple solution, having been designed to use less material, no gaps or dirt traps, low inventory and efficient; with proven antibacterial properties to add extra peace of mind, colour coding to enable 100% certainty that all units are replaced. Old units are collected back by Dupal and recycled correctly.
The benefits to hospitals estates are endless, the system dramatically saves time, reduces risk to both estates teams and patients, satisfies the environmental factor and to top it all works out cheaper than the now old fashioned method of cleaning.
It seems an area of estate management that used to be arduous and complicated is suddenly simple, effective and cost efficient. For more information on prices and a sample contact Dupal UK on 01342 844844 or email sales@dupaluk.com.
