Working smarter to keep your teams safer
At JLA, we understand that machine downtime is not just disruptive, but can pose an infection control risk.
The Vortex Air contains the most comprehensive diagnostics tools and sensors ever seen on a hospital macerator. Each unit is also tested and optimised to macerate our range of medical pulp products, ensuring your machine is running in even the most heavy-duty environments.
Why choose a single-use disposable system?
- Eliminates cross infection risk from reusable bedpans.
- More convenient and hygienic.
- Zero aerosols released during disposal, eradicates risk of transmission via droplets.
- Hands-free system reduces number of potentially infected touch points.
- Immediate disposal reduces potential risk of contamination spray, splash backs, or spillages during cleaning.
- Use significantly less water than bedpan washers and requires cold water to process pulp products resulting in less energy consumption per product.
