Long-established plumbing and heating product manufacturer, Pegler Yorkshire, will showcase its new Performa Antimicrobial Copper range of copper taps and mixers, said to be ‘the first of its kind in the UK’, and to ‘take infection prevention to a new level’.
The company said: “Copper is the world’s most effective antimicrobial touch surface material, scientifically proven in healthcare environments. Antimicrobial copper remains effective after repeated wet and dry abrasion and recontamination, and its effectiveness is unaffected by natural oxidation of the surface.”
The Yorkshire firm added: “Choosing the best possible solution is critical in the healthcare sector – particularly where the issues concerned are as important as protection against healthcare-associated infections (HCAI), and helping to prevent patient scalding.
“Our Performa brand offers many benefits, including:
- Specialist antimicrobial copper products to help prevent HCAIs.
- TMV3-approved design, for increased protection from scalding.
- Easy operation, with lever-action basin taps.
- Design and manufacturing processes that ‘deliver to exacting standards’.”
