Medication trolley carts come into contact with people all the time in care situations and thus are exposed to a wide variety of bacteria and pathogens. Through Sanitized® Silver, the Swiss company Wiegand AG offers permanent hygienically clean surfaces in its Flexline models.

They roll from patient to patient and are permanently in hand contact with the healthcare staff members. So that only the desired medication and not bacteria or pathogens are transported, the Wiegand Flexline medication trolley carts are now treated with the Sanitized® hygiene function. The proved Sanitized® Silver technology is used for the powder-coated surfaces. This prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi and. With untreated plastic surfaces, an increase of the unwanted bacteria could already be established after just 4 hours. Safe for people and the environment, Sanitized® technology noticeably reduces bacteria growth permanently. Visible impurities from normal use can be removed using standard cleaners.

Wiegand AG thus makes a real contribution to improved hygiene in healthcare facilities: “A growing number of healthcare facilities ask specifically for additional hygiene measures,” said Erwin Does, Sales Head at Wiegand AG. “In the meantime, some requests for offers specify antimicrobial finishing,” added Does.

The medication trolley carts from the Switzerland’s Wiegand AG are used in hospitals, physician practices, retirement and care facilities and are available in over 20 countries. The company offers individual solutions for medication distribution and storage of healthcare products and medication. Besides solid quality, the possibility to individually equip each individual cart is valued.
