Sanipull®
Replaces Unhygienic Traditional Pulls and Plastic Pull Cords
in Hospitals & Long-Term Healthcare Facilities
Cleanable Vinyl Ribbon Pulls for Over Bed Lights and Nurse
Calls
Sanipull's
family of cleanable replacement vinyl ribbon replacement
pulls for over bed lights and nurse calls reduce the risk
of pathogens being spread by staff, patients or residents
and visitors. The innovative Sanipull design also protects
light fixtures from over-force pull damage. This switch
saving benefit is a big hit with maintenance departments!
A
recent hospital publication1 has shown that Sanipull
cleanable pulls along with good housekeeping practices helped
to reduce hospital infection rates
by 50% in a year long study. Your facility can also reduce
FAIs by retrofitting with Sanipull cleanable pulls as part
of your proactive infection
control action plan. Help protect your healthcare facility
against an outbreak and avoid the turmoil and expense associated
with nosocomial infections!
Cling,
string, bead or ball chain and nylon cord pulls are traditional
pull solutions still in use for patient control of bed lights
and nurse calls. It should be no surprise that these pulls
cannot be disinfected! The Sanipull system provides a practical
and hygienic solution that is appreciated by front line
nurses, housekeeping staff, maintenance personnel and infection
control professionals.
Sanipull
is a superior replacement pull compared to retrofit plastic
pull cords. Plastic cords are cleanable and functional but
their very strong small diameter profile creates a variety
of safety issues for patients/residents and maintenance
staff. For a full itemized comparison see the Cleanable
Pull Comparison Matrix.

Applications
Designed
