Theatre footwear decontamination

Decontamination equipment specialist Lancer now offers an underbench washer-disinfector to deliver high quality washing and disinfection of operating theatre shoes and other footwear.

Combating MRSA and HAI in general is a frontline issue for healthcare. Improving decontamination procedures at every level is fundamental to this and therefore all operating theatres and patient treatment areas need to look closely at their current procedures and consider whether they are adequate. The Labexia 800 series offers a cost-effective solution in the vital but often forgotten area of contaminated footwear.

Two models are available, the 810LX without drying and the 820LX which has rapid hot air drying and integral storage of chemicals/additives. Though compact, the generous capacity takes up to 24 clogs on two levels. Dedicated support racks and powerful wash action in all areas of the chamber ensure effective cleaning and decontamination. Programming can be customised for specific applications.
