Cleaning products group JohnsonDiversey UK has turned to Rieke Dispensing to provide the closures for a new range of hospital hygiene products that fight diseases such as MRSA.

 

The industrial hygiene company has incorporated the RS3 pump on the bottles for its Soft Care Triple C range of skincare products that are designed to stop the spread of infections in hospitals.

 

Soft Care Med, the top-of-the-range product, is an alcohol gel that is based on propanols rather than the usual choice of ethanol and is effective in killing MRSA, Norovirus and the swine flu virus among other types of flu viruses.

 

It, and the other products in the range, have been fitted with Rieke's RS3 pump which delivers a 1ml dose and can be used with liquids at a range of viscosities.

 

JohnsonDiversey UK product manager Emma Philips said that the pump's "versatility enabled us to use the same design across several products to maintain uniformity of branding and efficiency in logistics".
