Healthcare solutions

Healthcare environments require effective procedures and proper equipment to ensure maximum hygiene and minimise the risk of cross-contamination, laying the foundations for a safe environment for patients and healthcare staff.

TTS has designed and manufactured a unique range of highly professional products and systems that fully meet the specific needs of the healthcare sector, protecting the health of patients, visitors and operators.

Selection of materials

Maintaining a high standard of hygiene in healthcare facilities is a main issue that requires careful cleaning not only of the rooms but also of the equipment used to clean them. The choice of raw materials is an important factor that can, depending on the case, help or hinder cleaning and disinfection operations.

Trolleys made with medium- or low-density plastics make complete cleaning and accurate disinfection of the surfaces impossible due to their textured profile and high porosity. In addition, some types of plastic can be damaged by the disinfectants used.

TTS trolleys are manufactured using high-density polypropylene, which provides smooth surfaces that are easy to clean and sanitise and resistant to all types of disinfectants, promoting a high standard of hygiene.

For cleaning healthcare environments, TTS recommends Magic multi-purpose trolleys, which are available in many different configurations to meet all washing, storage and collection needs.

A mop for every room

Correct mop management is essential to minimise cross-contamination, which is why, particularly in hospitals, a clean mop is used for each individual room, prepared to the highest standards. The systems that make this good practice possible are pre-soaking and soaking on demand.

The Hermetic bucket allows you to pre-soak mops in a few simple steps and makes it easy to transport them with its practical cross handle. The lid fastening system and sealing gasket ensure an airtight seal that preserves the active ingredients of the cleaning solution.

The Dosely soaking station allows the mops to be soaked on demand and directly on the trolley, adjusting the cleaning solution from 50 to 350 ml depending on the type of mop and the size of the surface to be cleaned. Preparing the cloths shortly before actual use allows the cleaning agents to be used at their maximum germicidal capacity, ensuring highly effective cleaning.

No contact with dirt

The operator's hands are the main vehicle of contamination, so any direct contact with dirt must be avoided to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Touch-free systems are the ideal solution for cleaning in environments with a high risk of contamination as they allow you to remove the mops without touching them, ensuring a high level of hygiene.

Blik, Trilogy and Uni System frames are equipped with a practical touch-free release system that allows the used mop to be removed without touching it with the hands. This eliminates any contact with dirty fibres, ensuring maximum control of cross-contamination.

Effective dusting and dirt collection

A common problem when it comes to dusting is that dust in the air rises and settles again on the ground, making cleaning ineffective.

TTS dusting systems capture and retain even the smallest particle of dust, preventing it from being lifted up and dispersed into the environment. Combined with disposable cloths, available with mineral oils, vegetable oils or glue, they ensure cross-contamination control.

The main problems related to the collection of solid and liquid dirt, on the other hand, are due to the difficulty in completely removing the different types of dirt and the contact with it during the operation.

TTS has designed a system with a dustpan and squeegee that allows solid, liquid, dry and wet dirt to be collected quickly and effectively, avoiding any direct contact with the hands and retaining the odours that spread with normal dustpans.

Cleaning textiles

It is recommended to use microfibre cloths to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency: the mechanical action of the very fine fibres allows the removal of dirt and up to 95% of bacteria present on the surface, reducing the quantity and aggressiveness of the chemical needed to guarantee hygiene and consequently minimising the risk of creating bacteria resistant to disinfectants.

TTS microfibres guarantee professional, high-performance cleaning, meeting the needs of different surfaces and dirt conditions in the best possible way. The wide range available satisfies all cleaning needs, ensuring maximum hygiene.

TTS also offers an exclusive selection of disposable microfibres, which are ideal for cleaning in high-risk areas as they provide maximum control of cross-contamination. TTS disposable cloths also offer maximum flexibility, as they can be combined with any active ingredient that health departments consider suitable.

Cleaning with colour coding

The cleaning and sanitising service in healthcare facilities uses specific products for each environment or operation: to facilitate the identification, it is recommended to rely on colour coding, an effective system whose basic principle is that each colour corresponds to a specific area or degree of risk.

To enable proper risk management and to combat cross-contamination, TTS offers complete colour-coded cleaning systems including cloths and mops with coloured fibres and supports or with multicolour labels and handles with components available in different colours.

In addition, TTS trolleys are equipped with buckets in different colours depending on the intended use and can be equipped with lids for bag holders and bags in different colours.
