Kettering Hospital opts for ‘built-in’ infection control
all-curved Odyssey Bio antimicrobial cable containment system to enhance infection control measures within the sterile services section of the hospital. Part of a major £1.1m refurbishment to the pathology departments by Kettering General Hospital NHS Trust, the project has involved the fitting of more than 400 linear metres of
P
Odyssey Bio (with red coloured back boxes to provide Part M compliance at a competitive cost). Odyssey Bio is a specialist building product from cable management experts Marshall-Tufflex. Different to many other antibacterial cable containment systems, not only does its unique and attractively curved profile avoid the collection of dust, but it has bacteria-fighting, silver-based active ingredients included in the PVC-U during manufacture rather than applied as a surface coating.

Curved Odyssey leads crusade to keeps student rooms tidy
opted for the manufacturer’s all-curved profile Odyssey trunking system for electrical upgrades to 769 student rooms within 12 separate blocks of student halls of residence because of its sleek lines and impossibility to clutter. CAT 6 compliant Odyssey is considered more aesthetically pleasing than traditional
R trunking
because of its attractively curved profile, which does not attract dust and cannot be used as storage. It was therefore perfect for student halls improvements that combined living and study accommodation. Specification with coloured back boxes, in blue, provided Part M compliance at a competitive cost.
