Sanipull®
Replaces Unhygienic Traditional Pulls and Plastic Pull Cords
in Hospitals
& Long-Term Healthcare Facilities
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 pathogens being spread by staff, patients or
residents and visitors. The innovative Sanipull design also protects light fixtures
from over-force pull damage. This switch saving benefit is a big hit with maintenance
departments!
A
recent hospital publication1 has shown that Sanipull cleanable pulls
along with good housekeeping practices helped to reduce infection rates by 50%
in a year long study. Your facility can also reduce FAIs 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 traditional pull solutions
are still in use to control over 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.
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 issues and problems for patients/residents and maintenance
staff. For a full itemized comparison see the Cleanable
Pull Comparison Matrix.
The
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.

Applications
Designed
for hospitals, long-term care facilities, retirement homes and other facilities
