    Hi Daniela,
    We have these in all our acute and residential bathrooms. Same dispenser as our regular hand soap but different product that is more sensitive to skin. We have had them for some time now with no problems. Our contracted had soap provider had a few different ones for us to choose from. In Victoria I am pretty sure tit’s under the HPV contract – so you may have limitations which companies you could use.
    It is much better as we no longer have to deal with cakes of soap and the units are easy to clean.
    Happy to chat off line if you need.
    Cheers,
    Kelly

    Dear colleagues,

    We are looking at installing shampoo/body wash soap product in our patient showers, which we hope will be safer and more cost effective than providing individual bottles and bars of soap to patients who do not have their own toiletries. The idea is to have a standardised pump dispenser (similar in design to clinical handwashing product) containing an all-in-one product.

    I am interested to know if other facilities have installed these types of pumps in their patient showers, and your experience/advice – in particular if there are any issues with the style of pump or bracket used given they are frequently exposed to heat and moisture.

    If there are specific products or brands you wish to name, please contact me directly at D.Karanfilovska@alfred.org.au as not to breach the conditions of membership to this forum.

    Many thanks,
    Daniela
