ECF Healthcare & Medical Quarterly
Welcome
However, there have been some happier times this quarter; we’ve been celebrating key milestones for long standing staff members in the UK, while over in the US we were delighted to win a poster prize at the NPIAP Conference. Make sure you are specifying genuine Dartex® fabrics, especially now we are ISO14001 certified. Do you like our new-look newsletter?
With warm regards
Mark Jones
General Manager
Practical advice for infection control
• Impermeable to bacteria, viruses and fluid ingress – polyurethane is a fluid-proof, breathable barrier
• Safe for skin contact
• Reliable – designed for purpose and to maximise the life of the support surface
We always recommend that you Protect, Rinse and Dry your support surface in line with BHTA guidance and we remind customers that normal healthcare cleaning regimes are effective at removing bacteria and viruses.
Download our cleaning brochure for further information on acceptable cleaning agents but do remember to always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when cleaning your support surface.
If you have any concerns around cleaning, get in touch with our Customer Service Team via email dartexsales@trelleborg.com or call +44 (0)115 983 7676
