Hospices

With our products and services, you can deliver the best possible standards of end-of-life care in your hospice while creating a safe and comfortable environment for your patients, their visitors, and your staff.

Healthcare acquired infections are just as much of a risk for hospices as they are for other healthcare environments. We can help you implement an effective infection prevention and control strategy for your hospice. So whether you want to procure specialist hospice medical supplies, or you want to discuss our air quality consultation services, get in touch to talk to one of our friendly experts today.

Specialist Hospice Medical Supplies

At Cairn Technology, we supply a comprehensive range of hospital-grade cleaning and containment products. They’re tried, tested, and highly effective at helping you control and prevent infection in your hospice. And as many are designed to be one-step solutions, use these products and you may also find that you’re spending less time cleaning overall. Our range includes:

Virusolve +

Virusolve+ is a one-step anti-microbial cleaner and disinfectant that can kill everyday bacteria within a minute of contact, and superbugs in as little as five minutes.

Virusolve+ is odourless, colourless, hypo-allergenic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous. Once applied, it can produce a residual barrier which can continue to fight infection for up to a week. Some Virusolve+ products even work on carpets, upholstery, and mattresses.

Virsuolve+ products are available in a range of forms and scented/unscented varieties, depending on your needs:

  • Concentrate
  • Formula
  • Wipes
  • Trigger spray
  • Dedicated floors, walls, and ceiling (FWC) solution.

Virusan

Good hand hygiene is a vital part of infection prevention and control in hospices. The Virusan Antimicrobial Hand Sanitiser can eliminate up to 99.99% of the most common pathogens found in hospices in less than a minute, making it highly effective at preventing cross-infection.

Virusan is also available as an antimicrobial scrub. We can also supply you with hand sanitiser stations to place throughout, so you can encourage visitors to practice good hand hygiene too.

Improve the Air Quality in Your Hospice

There are two major benefits to improving the air quality in your hospice. First, filling your hospice with fresh, clean air will make the palliative care environment more pleasant and comfortable for patients, visitors, and staff alike.

But more importantly, air purification can remove most, if not all, of the most common pollutants and pathogens from the air. This will help you control the spread of airborne viruses and bacteria. It will also help you remove the sort of particles that could cause respiratory problems for your patients, including dust, mould, pet dander, pollen, and road traffic fumes.

Our Blueair air purifiers can achieve complete air filtration in a large room in just 12.5 minutes. So at the touch of a button, you can make your care home environment feel fresher, cleaner, and healthier for everyone.

Advanced HEPASilent technology allows Blueair air purifiers to capture and kill 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air, along with 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns. The GermShield™ technology constantly monitors the room for viruses and bacteria. And because the air purification units are so quiet and unobtrusive, your residents may not even notice they’re there.
