The new state of the art Sunderland Royal Hospital ICCU was designed with a particular focus on infection control and hygiene, and privacy and dignity of users. The 13 main single rooms within the unit are soundproof, and surrounded by LC SmartGlass panels in a partitioning system allowing staff the best possible view of patients from the central ICCU corridor.
Patient observation can be carried out safely and efficiently by simply switching the SmartGlass to its clear state reducing the risk of cross-contamination as care staff do not have to physically enter the ward to observe patient activity.
Further to this, it has been proven that sheer, easily cleaned surfaces are essential in hospitals and particularly in ICCU’s in order to reduce the risks associated with the spread of super bugs such as Clostridium difficile (CDIFF), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE).
LC SmartGlass provides the ideal surface to combat these deadly infections and eliminates the need for traditional blind systems which are difficult to clean and high risk in terms of harbouring dirt and bugs.
