FURNISHINGS
CREATING SPACE
KickStart Lounge is a modern collection designed to address a wide range of applications for community spaces.

CLEAN SEATING
The Brighton (pictured), Solitude and Alta Series, all part of the Alpine Collection, now feature an all-sides clean-out option. With space between the seat, the back and the sides, this not only reduces the time needed to clean the seat, but enables more of the entire seat and surrounding surfaces to be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized as needed.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
ADDED PROTECTION

COMPACT SOLUTION
The Integrated Sterilizer & Shredder is a steam sterilizer with an integrated shredder. It is designed for on-site, small-capacity conversion of medical waste in hospitals and clinics.

SAFE KEEPING
The S14 Sharpmart reusable sharps container is the smallest container of the S-series range for biomedical sharps. Its compact design makes it ideal for patient room use and lighter sharps volume areas. A gravity-balanced safety tray restricts hand-access to contents and ensures safe disposal of even the lightest of sharps. Daniels Health
STREAMLINED
The Transition TIM is a flexible recycling and waste bin that allows for the collection of up to eight streams in one container. Heavy-duty casters allow the bin to be moved for cleaning.
