Vernacare claims to be ‘the only company to manufacture a single-use human waste disposal system’; it says the system ‘helps to decrease the risk of cross-infection, while improving environmental performance and generating cost savings’.
The company said: “The Vortex twinblade disposal unit offers quality and value, together with efficiency and reliability. Service packages, extended warranties, price match promotions, and flexible purchasing options, are available to meet the needs of individual healthcare facilities. The Vortex uses a 24-litre cold water cycle, reducing electricity costs as well as environmental impact, while the efficient discharge mechanism also reduces the risk of downtime.
“We offer full technical support to healthcare facilities; our engineers carry out comprehensive pre-installation machine checks, and offer regular preventative servicing to extend system life while reducing the risk of breakdowns. The team covers the whole of the UK, and operates at a 97% first-time fix rate, with a maximum 48-hour response from our team of engineers.”
