Hand hygiene in accordance with KRINKO recommendation: schülke launches innovative retrofit set for the hyclick® system for Euro dispensers
- The retrofit set enables the flexible use of hyclick® bottles in Euro dispensers Plus - hyclick® system meets all KRINKO requirements for hand hygiene in healthcare facilities - Replacing the hand hygiene bottle with an integrated pump in seconds offers maximum safety without time-consuming reprocessing
Norderstedt, May 02, 2023. schülke has succeeded in optimizing hand hygiene in hospitals with an innovative retrofit set for the hyclick® system for wall-mounted dispensers. Existing Euro dispensers can be easily retrofitted with the system so that the hand hygiene bottle can be replaced within a few seconds and with maximum safety and hygiene. The use of hyclick® disposable bottles eliminates the previously cumbersome reprocessing process.
Stefan Kukacka, CEO of schülke: "Every day we are working on new solutions to simplify processes in the healthcare sector. With the launch of our hyclick® system in 2016, we set new standards for hand hygiene products in hospitals - not only in terms of safety against microbial contamination, but also in terms of time savings for the reprocessing of wall dispensers. Thanks to the flexible use of hyclick® bottles in existing Euro dispensers, our solution now offers hospitals a resource-saving changeover."
Suitable for Euro dispensers
The hyclick® retrofit set consists of just two small components, the bottle centring device and the hood. These can be installed intuitively and smoothly in existing wall dispensers. The retrofit set is compatible with manual Euro dispensers Plus with volumes from 500 ml to 1,000 ml. The use of hyclick® or Euro bottles is flexible. The hyclick® retrofit set has been registered with the German and European Patent Office, approval is still pending.
Maximum safety for patients and nursing staff
The use of hyclick® disposable bottles achieves maximum hygiene in the hospital, as the hyclick® bottle and pump form a single unit that is disposed of as a complete container after use. This eliminates the previously cumbersome, time-consuming and labour-intensive reprocessing of reusable pumps and minimizes the health risks of germ transmission for both nursing staff and patients. The hyclick® system therefore fulfills the requirements of the KRINKO, which recommends the use of disposable pumps on the container for hand washing preparations in healthcare facilities.
