  Award Winning Design

  The detergent-proof washbowl was awarded the Queens Award for Innovation (2011),  It has been developed with the help of clinicians to meet demand from Infection prevention nurses who identified that re-using plastic washbowls without properly cleaning and drying was a significant infection risk.    The washbowl is ideal to use for the following:  Hand washing, general surface cleaning, wound care, shaving, continence care and foot soak/procedures.

  Environmental and Productivity Benefits

  Provides a time saving, hygienic and environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional process of chemically disinfecting, washing and drying plastic washbowls at high temperatures, and the problem of disposing of plastic which is almost impossible to biodegrade.  It also save s money on energy consumption and clinical / waste disposal.

  Raising Infection Control Standards

  The detergent proof washbowl was introduced as part of an improvement collaborative at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust a number of years ago, contributing to a reduction in Clostridium Difficile infection rates of 56%.
