Sustainably improving hand hygiene

Sustainably improving hand hygiene

Milan / Issum, May 7th, 2011. Sustainably improving hand hygiene compliance in hospitals - with this goal, OPHARDT hygiene presents its new innovative system solution Hygiene Compliance Solutions (HCS) at the 21st ECCMID in Milan, Italy.

“The basic idea behind Hygiene Compliance Solutions is simple: We are not only offering single products, but a consistent concept to really support sustainable hand hygiene in daily practice”, explains Kristina Ophardt, Product Manager Hygiene Compliance Solutions. Hygiene Compliance Solutions cover three areas:

Promoting hand hygiene

High quality products are one important prerequisite for sustainable hand hygiene. Offering a five-year-warranty, OPHARDT hygiene products work properly for many years. The ingo-man® plus Touchless dispenser offers reliable touchless operation, simplifying integration into daily clinical practice. The ingo-man® plus warning colour dispenser actively encourages hand disinfection, reminding people to disinfect their hands.

Optimizing Availability

With a wide range of professional bracket systems and table stands, OPHARDT hygiene enable users to install dispensing systems directly at or near to the site of patient care. Furthermore, the Standard Euro Bottle System, used in all OPHARDT hygiene dispensers, guarantee the freedom of choice: Users can select from a wide range of products, save costs and are independent in case of a pandemic. As an additional highlight, the new ingo-man® Weco disinfectant dispenser informs the persons responsible just in time about necessary bottle changes, actively improving hygiene and quality management in hospitals.

Achieving Hygiene Goals

As an important part of HCS, the new OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System® offers the oppurtunity to precisely measure and analyze hand hygiene behaviour in hospitals. OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System® consists of ingo-man dispensing systems with integrated counter function and a powerful software. Are there hallways or patient rooms where dispensers are used particularly frequently or rarely? Are there single dispensers which are used too rarely, perhaps due to inconvenient placement? OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System® can help to answer these questions. In this way weak spots can be easily identified and potential improvements can be implemented – to improve hand hygiene compliance in hospitals sustainably.

OPHARDT hygiene

The OPHARDT hygiene business group develops, manufactures and sells a complete product portfolio of functional dispensing systems and dosage applications for the implementation of the highest hygiene standards in the realms of medicine, pharmacy and the food processing industry, as well as for use in public washrooms and sanitary facilities. At seven locations world-wide, over 300 employees work daily to successfully implement the OPHARDT hygiene mission statement "making the world a more hygienic place."
