What are the benefits of using Medical Pulp?

Reducing risk of infections:
Medical Pulp can reduce the risk of cross-infection when managing and disposing of human waste.
Safe disposal procedures:
By safely disposing of single use urinals, bowls and dishes in a macerator after use, the risk of cross-contamination is removed when compared to traditional washing.
Saving on costs:
Medical Pulp is also a cost-effective choice when comparing the cost of reusing metal receptacles. This includes the use of chemicals, energy costs for heating water and the staff time for manually cleaning.
