New chair aims to help infection control

Lindsay Fowke's PhotographyTitan Healthcare have a launched a new chair which, according to the company, is clinically proven to kill >99.9% of bacteria including MRSA, E.coli and prevent fungal growth. The Titan Healthcare chair can be seen on show at the Hertfordshire headquarters of the Furniture Industry Research Association, says the company.

According to Titan Healthcare, the new chair uses a patented antimicrobial additive to kill bacteria providing a constant protective barrier all over the chairs and due to the one piece design it is devoid of joins and dirt traps and a smooth, non-porous surface enables quick and easy cleaning, says the company.

Other features highlighted by Titan include the chair’s full postural support; it is stackable and is also 100% recyclable.

Alexander Worswick at Titan Healthcare, comments: “A range of antimicrobial products targeting areas of high footfall and high transmission would help break the chain of infection thereby aiding with infection control. We have worked with healthcare professionals to develop a unique range of easy clean, antimicrobial touch point products – making the quick and thorough removal of dirt and bacteria the priority. We are very pleased to be able to display this innovative new product at the Furniture Industry Research Association’s headquarters.”

Representatives from across the furniture industry supply chain visit the headquarters on a regular basis and members of the Association have the opportunity to display new and innovative products on the Showcase, says the company.
