Rieke Dispenser Keeps Spirigel in Good Health

The convenience and long-term reliability of the RS3 pump from Rieke Packaging Systems, Englass has ensured efficient and hygienic dispensing of Spirigel, an alcohol-based disinfectant from Ecolab.

In busy healthcare environments, ease of use and reliable performance are crucial requirements for any dispensing system. The versatile RS3 lock-down shippable dispenser is available in a wide variety of dosing formats and is capable of handling a range of products from thin liquids to viscous gels and creams, enabling Ecolab to match the dispenser precisely to its requirements.

In particular, the Spirigel version features a finger-operated pump with a consistent 1ml dose and a specific customised outlet valve, which prevents any leakage if the bottle is accidentally inverted or squeezed.

In addition, the RS3 is water-proof and offers excellent durability and hygienic dispensing.

With an esitmated 9% of UK patients suffering a healthcare associated infection (HAI) every year, infection control is paramount. Hand decontamination remains one of the simplest and most effective methods of achieving this, and Spirigel's proven formula is already established in many hospitals.

"Effective infection prevention not only requires a proven disinfectant such as Spirigel, but a user-friendly delivery system appropriate to the fast pace if healthcare," comments Nick Warhurst, Development Manager of Ecolab.

"The RS3 from Rieke Packaging Systems, Englass combines ease of function with a robust design for excellent long-term performance."
