When specifying electrical products for healthcare and social care environments, safety, hygiene and compliance are critical considerations. From hospitals and GP surgeries to care homes and health centres, products must be designed to support infection control measures while meeting the unique requirements of medical locations.
Scolmore Group’s Medical Solutions range has been developed specifically for these demanding environments, bringing together a comprehensive portfolio of specialist wiring accessories designed to enhance both safety and functionality. The range is based on Scolmore’s proven Mode wiring accessories collection and includes blue ‘Medical Equipment Only’ sockets, red and green outboard rocker switched socket outlets, key lockable switches and sockets, locating sockets, wide rocker switches and Part M compliant accessories with visual contrast features.
A key benefit of the range is its focus on hygiene. Mode products are manufactured using Urea Formaldehyde, a material with inherent antimicrobial properties. Independent testing has shown a 99.99% reduction rate against common bacterial strains including MRSA, E. coli, Salmonella and Klebsiella Pneumonia, as well as enveloped viruses. Further testing demonstrated antiviral performance, with Mode plates achieving a 99.99% reduction against enveloped viruses and a 92% reduction against non-enveloped viruses after four hours of contact.
The range also includes Equipotential Bonding Busbars (EBBs), which play an important role in protecting patients and healthcare professionals. Required in Group 1 and Group 2 medical locations under BS 7671 and HTM06-01 guidance, EBBs help ensure supplementary protective equipotential bonding is correctly implemented.
Supported by complementary solutions from across the Scolmore Group, including Ovia lighting, ESP fire and security systems and Unicrimp cable accessories, the Medical Solutions range provides specifiers with a trusted, one-stop source for healthcare and social care projects.
An updated Medical Solutions brochure is available from Scolmore Group, providing detailed information on the full range of healthcare-specific wiring accessories and equipment designed for medical and care environments.
