Silver lining for the Nuffield

Anti-bacterial fabrics and contemporary designs from Gradus’ Serenity collection are helping create a clean, modern and welcoming environment at the newly refurbished Oncology Department within Cambridge’s Nuffield Hospital.

Part of a two-year, £18 million investment programme, the refurbishment project is seeing a full upgrade of all operating theatres, plus installation of MRI and CT scanners, and improvements in all public and patient areas.

The “Brooklyn” design printed on X-Static anti-bacterial base cloth was chosen for curtains throughout the new ward, aiding infection control and providing an attractive environment. Manufactured using pure silver yarns, woven into a Trevira CS base, the X-Static cloth uses ionisation to eliminate bacteria. The silver yarn, only visible on close inspection, increases confidence among staff and patients, without compromising on aesthetics.

In addition to fabrics, Gradus also supplied loose lay vinyl flooring and a comprehensive wall protection system for installation throughout the Oncology Unit.
