One of the major areas of infection 'pick up' in hospitals, clinics and care homes are the string pulls used for emergency call points such as nurse call, disabled toilet alarms and of course string lighting pulls.

Traditionally, the ceiling pulls are manufactured using string (twisted fibre) pulls along with grasp handles. many people use the string instead of the grasp handles leading to bacteria growth on the surface and within the fibres. These types of pulls are very difficult to clean as the bacteria grows into the fibres and resurfaces following cleaning.

The Sanipull solution to this problem was to manufacture a strong and durable vinyl ribbon which has a smooth surface and can be cleaned with a simple wipe of disinfectant solution. There are no internal fibres which means that bacteria cannot hide and resurface. In addition to the unique Sanipull ribbon - which is more visible to the user, a collection of ancillaries are available to connect the ribbon to a string ceiling switch and aesthetically designed grasp handles for ease of use and to comply fully with HTM 0803.
