Lotus Professional® helps healthcare industry to stay smart in hygiene

August 26, 2011

The Lotus Professional® Brand has expanded its innovative SmartOne® range to provide a flexible, full-service solution to hygienic and practical toilet tissue dispensing for the UK healthcare sector.

The SmartOne® Mini and SmartOne® Mini Double dispensers are now available as part of the SmartOne® family, offering an even wider selection of solutions to hygienic dispensing for the healthcare industry, for flexibility in both high-traffic and smaller washrooms.

The SmartOne® collection boasts a single sheet dispensing function, whereby the user only takes one single sheet two-ply tissue at a time, considerably reducing paper consumption and producing superior hygiene benefits.

The controlled single-sheet dispensing has proven to reduce tissue consumption by up to 40%*, compared with standard jumbo rolls. This unique function means hospital washrooms and other healthcare facilities can benefit from reduced waste, avoiding extra costs caused by overuse, and can also help to maintain tidier washrooms. The need to refill is less frequent so busy hospital workers will spend less time refilling the dispenser and maintaining washrooms. 

Frank Duffy, Sales Manager Healthcare discusses the benefits of the SmartOne® system for the healthcare sector.  “The SmartOne® system also provides a practical solution for busy hospital and care home staff when assisting patients or residents, the single sheet dispensing allows staff to easily and conveniently dispense tissue when only able to use one hand.  The SmartOne® dispenser provides a superior solution to hospital hygiene and infection prevention, as the fully enclosed roll means you only ever touch the sheet taken, significantly reducing the possibility of cross-contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria that can linger in hospitals. “

Presented in completely enclosed units, the SmartOne® dispenser range also prevents the risk of unwanted items being placed inside the unit and discourages hidden needles, providing a safer environment for patients and visitors using the facilities.

The new SmartOne® Mini dispenser provides hospital managers with the flexibility to opt for a smaller dispenser that can work in more confined spaces, such as in private healthcare bedrooms or care homes. The SmartOne® Mini Double dispenser  is ideal for high-traffic washrooms, due to its high capacity and twin roll design, offering  up to 1240 sheets per dispenser.    The versatile SmartOne® Mini Double dispenser can be fixed to the wall in a variety of positions and is available in blue or white to complement any washroom design. 

The SmartOne® Mini and SmartOne® Mini Double dispensers offer flexibility in use, without the need to stock different rolls. Both dispensers hold the same roll making restock and refill an easier process, so hospitals can benefit from the versatility of the dispensers, without losing the simplicity of a standard roll.
