Better air quality means better patient safety 🌬️✨

Airborne pathogens don’t just impact wellbeing, they risk patient safety and disrupt care. When ventilation alone isn’t enough, technology like UV-C sterilisation can make a real difference.

See how the UVMATIC® AirSafe Steriliser helped tackle airborne bacteria in real clinical environments, with proven results from Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen and NHS Wales. The findings show a clear reduction in harmful microbes, supporting safer and more pleasant healthcare spaces for everyone.

💧 Water safety is vital to infection prevention.

In hospitals, water traps are surprisingly some of the most contaminated and high-risk areas, often acting as hidden reservoirs for bacteria and biofilms.

🦠 Our UVMATIC® Water Trap uses UVC light to kill bacteria and prevent biofilm build-up, reducing infection risks where they start.

✨ Recently showcased at IP2025, the Care Show Birmingham, and Healthcare Estates Manchester, the technology achieved over 99.9% bacteria reduction in tests at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

💡Good sluice room design isn’t just about equipment placement, it’s about creating a clear dirty in, clean out workflow that protects residents, patients and staff.

Every decision, from macerator positioning to flooring choice, influences infection risks, staff efficiency and long-term running costs. Poor design can increase cross-contamination and drive up the expense of avoidable infections.

Small changes like durable finishes, energy-efficient machines, and keeping clean and dirty areas separate, can make a big difference. They cut infection risks and give carers & clinicians more time for the people they support. In practice, that means:

📉 Lower infection risks
💷 Real cost savings
👩‍⚕️ Safer, more efficient care environments
