Infection control showroom aims to help beat HAI spread
Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies and interior design specialist Komfort Workspace have teamed up to offer healthcare providers and trusts a one stop source of clean room modular solutions.
The two businesses formed the partnership to help healthcare establishments reduce the spread of infections, including MRSA and Clostridium difficile, and risk of cross-contamination in hospitals and healthcare premises.
Ingersoll Rand’s Normbau Microban collection, along with Briton locks and cylinders have been used for two of Komfort’s showrooms. Located in Edgbaston Cricket Ground and Bonhill Street, London, the showrooms are designed to replicate common room layouts found in modern healthcare facilities.
Normbau Microban comprises a collection of nylon door levers, pull handles, grab bars, handrails, balustrades, sanitary fittings and bathroom accessories – all impregnated at production stage with Microban antibacterial protection. The impregnation is integral which means that the protection cannot be washed, rubbed or worn away and will always remain active throughout the life cycle of the product. Inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria Normbau Microban products can help to provide a constant level of hygiene in hospitals, care homes and other public access buildings by mitigating risk of infection.
