Showing no signs of going away, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every industry that’s known to us, including the healthcare industry. Throughout the year 2020, healthcare workers have been pushed to their limits with resources being used to the fullest to ensure the safety of many.
With a strong emphasis on hygiene, you can't help but wonder how clean are the instruments used in practices, clinics, medical centres, and hospitals during this pandemic. Given the current situation, daily disinfection works can prove to be costly and time-consuming for a thorough sanitization should an outbreak occur.
That's where MEIKO's bedpan washer comes in. Not only does it help to enhance the hygiene of care utensils, but it also works to provide healthcare facilities with effective cleaning and disinfecting technology. Ahead, we will be sharing what it is like to use such a technology and the advantages of it.
WHAT IS A BEDPAN WASHER?
Bedpan washers are among the many washer-disinfectors responsible to eliminate any risk of infection stemming from hospital rooms to dirty utility rooms. They work to empty, clean, disinfect, and dry some of the care utensils used by healthcare workers.
For some medical institutions, bedpan washers provide an alternative to disposables, single-use solutions, as most reusable care utensils are made of plastic or stainless steel. This makes bedpan washers a popular choice for institutions that value its one-off cost.
Generally, there are two types of bedpan washers available at MEIKO – TopLine and TOPIC. Simply put, these bedpan washers make the cleaning and drying of care utensils easier, allowing healthcare workers to focus more on caring for their patients.
The following is brief information on the two bedpan washers available at MEIKO:
