Over the
past few years a much greater emphasis is being made by healthcare
professionals to identify high risk touch surfaces that could
contribute to hospital and LTC facility acquired infections
and potential hotspots for supporting an outbreak. These include
light and nurse call pull cords, keyboards, telephones, and
even privacy curtains and window blind controls. Wilshire
Works Inc. offers a variety of hospital infection control
products to help reduce the
nosocomial infection risk to patients, staff and visitors.
Cleanabilty is the key to saving the healthcare industry hundreds
of thousands of
dollars and preventing FAI mortality.

Sanipull®
for Hospitals & Long-term Healthcare Facilities
Replaces Traditional Pulls and Plastic Pull Cords
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 MRSA, VRE, C-Diff and other contact spread pathogens
being transmitted by staff, patients, residents and visitors.
The innovative Sanipull design also protects fixtures from
over-force pull damage. This switch saving, expense reduction
benefit is a big hit with maintenance departments!
A 2006 hospital publication1 has shown that
Sanipull cleanable pulls along with good housekeeping practices
helped to reduce hospital MRSA and C-Diff rates by up to
50% in a year long study. Your facility can also reduce
facility acquired infections by retrofitting with Sanipull
cleanable pulls as part of your proactive infection prevention
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 unsanitary traditional pull solutions still commonly
used 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.
Break the MRSA, VRE and C-Diff infection cycle!
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.
Our easy to see and easy to grasp Sanipull vinyl ribbon
pull system is proudly designed and manufactured in Canada
by Wilshire Works Inc. Sanipull design is patent pending.
Wilshire Works Inc. is a Dun and Bradstreet registered company.
Applications
Designed for hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities,
retirement homes that are actively taking proactive measures
to prevent and control facility acquired infections.
