DDC - UVMATIC® Water Trap
FromDDC
Water traps are some of the most contaminated areas in hospitals and increasingly recognised as potential vehicles for transmission of multi-drug resistant bacteria to patients. Water used for staff hand washing, hygiene of patients or washing devices is contaminated and then drained through the sinks.
If the flow of the water is restricted, biofilm-forming bacteria may form stable reservoirs in the waste pipes and the semi-horizontal drain pipes if they are not inclined enough or are partially blocked. The UVMATIC® Water Trap Disinfector keeps the water in sink waste pipes sanitised, killing bacteria and preventing biofilm formulation. By preventing the spread of multi-resistant bacteria you reduce the risk of HCAI’s which is not only cost efficient, but also safeguards your clinicians and patients’ health.
