NEW C-PULL with Micrillon
The Challenge:
Hospital privacy curtains are frequently and rapidly contaminated with pathogenic bacteria.(1) 42% of privacy curtains were contaminated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci, 22% with MRSA and 4% with C. diff.(2) all known to cause preventable Hospital Associated Infections (pHAI’s)
A study published September 2018 concludes: …patient privacy curtains became progressively contaminated with bacteria, including MRSA. Curtains should either be cleaned or replaced 10 to 14 days after being hung.(3)
The Solution:
The C-PULL clamps onto any type or style of curtain. Provides a “Hand Target” for patients, caregivers and visitors. Easily wiped down and disinfected. Infused with Micrillon® providing built-in rechargeable antimicrobial product protection.
- Built in rechargeable anti-B.V.F.(4) product protection
- Provides a hard surface "touch-point-target" for caregivers, patients and visitors
- ES & IP process improvement - adopts easily to daily patient room processing
- Designed for ALL reusable and disposable curtains
- Unique built-in, non-leeching product protection - Micrillon® - a rechargeable broad-spectrum antimicrobial (AM) effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses
- Hypochlorous (HOCL) disinfectants recommended for maximum AM-recharge
- Eliminates hand-to-curtain contamination
- Extends time between R&R wash process
- Significant annual "per curtain" cost saving
- Durable, sustainable & shatter proof
- One size fits all
- When two meet - forms the international symbol for "STOP"
- Promotes patient dialogue and goodwill
Simply clean and disinfect with any EPA registered chlorine active disinfectant.
Small investment – BIG RETURN – a fraction of the cost of a single R&R wash process
