UltraClean Highly Commended at the Building Better Healthcare Awards 2018

Posted On: November 2, 2018 Categorised in:

Knightsbridge are proud to announce that their innovative new patient seating has been highly commended at the Building Better Healthcare Awards 2018.

The UltraClean utilises technologies and design features to face key challenges of patient furniture. It endeavours to provide an effective, ergonomic structure that meets hygiene standards and stands up to bleach.

Key amongst them, is welded seam technology for infection management. By adding these seams to the seat and back cushions,  the UltraClean Patient chair tackles key risks associated with patient furniture. Welded seams help to reduce the risk of accumulating  nasty odours, dirt and bacteria. All of which can get trapped in those awkward to clean areas. The UltraClean achieves this by minimising the risk of fluid ingress and the harbouring of dirt. Both of which can lead to furniture accommodating bacteria and other pathogens.

Another key feature pertains to hygiene and upkeep. To further aid infection control, the chair has also been designed with a hygiene gap. This void between the back cushion and the waterfall seat to prevent trapping of dirt and bacteria between them. Equally important is the polished frame construction is endowed with an anti-microbial finish. An inclusion to prevent pathogens from finding safe refuge on the frame.

UltraClean’s ergonomic design possesses two key features. Accordingly, the curved backrest provides excellent lumbar support and increased comfort. All the while, the waterfall seat reduces pressure to the back of the legs. The UltraClean is available in a number of bright vinyls which are anti- microbial, bleach cleanable, waterproof and stain resistant.  This will enable you to co-ordinate with existing décor or ward colours.
