According to experts 80% of infectious diseases are transferred by touch, and the most frequently touched surfaces can be contaminated with several hundred to over ten thousand infectious bacteria.
In response, the new range of hospital taps from PEGLER YORKSHIRE is manufactured using antimicrobial copper. The range features the antimicrobial copper Cu+ mark, which signifies the products are capable of continuously killing pathogenic microbes even between cleans. Pegler Yorkshire has combined this technology with a selection of its Performa range of healthcare taps and mixers. The antimicrobial range of taps sit alongside other products that conform to the Health Technical Memorandum, such as Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMV), which are designed to help prevent the threat of Legionella.
