BeaconMedæs supplies piped medical gas distribution systems including the Gem Shield medical gas terminal unit. This is available in a wide range of mounting options, connection types and orientations for installations in walls, bedhead trunking, headwalls, theatre and intensive care pendant systems. The Kingspan PalDuct Eco System with antimicrobial product protection is an advanced pre-insulated rectangular HVAC ductwork system. The system panels comprise a fibre-free high performance rigid thermoset polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core, faced on one side with an embossed aluminium foil and the other with a smooth aluminium foil. Both facings are coated with antimicrobial technology. The panels can be joined together to create a pre-insulated HVAC ductwork system that can resist the spread of surface bacteria within the treated system. R&M, manufacturers of cabling systems has also developed a line of outlets and patch cords with antimicrobial product protection suitable for health institutions, patient rooms and similar deployment areas which have an inherent risk from surface contamination. The plastic parts contain inbuilt antimicrobial technology to inhibit the growth of bacteria tested to ISO 22196. Medical cabinets, cubicles and surfaces in reception areas are also public contact
