New Style Second Generation Decon Shower Introduced By PPS

A new range of decon showers based on a mechanical articulating frame technology is announced by Professional Protection Systems. The new range will compliment the company’s range of inflatable decon showers. Since their introduction in 1996 PPS has built up a world reputation for its inflatables and in 2001 won a major NHS contract to equip hospitals and ambulance services with the UK’s first standard decontamination shower based on the inflatable principle. Explaining the reason for the introduction of the new style of unit Mark Whitcher, Managing Director of PPS says it is a matter of choice. “ The inflatable range will always be there” he said “They do an excellent job but some users require a higher specification product, particularly for mass decontamination, and our range of new metal-frame based products deliver an answer to this need”.

The patented articulating frame technology at the heart of the new range was sourced by PPS in the USA. “The great thing about the new concept is” says Whitcher “that no inflation devices or electricity are required, and any of the units in the range can be up and running in between one and three minutes”.

Units range from an individual decontamination shower suitable for hazmat incidents to a mass decon unit that is large enough to provide two ambulatory lines and one non-ambulatory line.

Standard features of the new units include an integrated fabric shower requiring no installation, contaminant containment internal and external and a white canopy top to provide ambient, natural light. The canopy itself is UV stabilised, fire retardant and chemical resistant.

All of the new shelters include a transport bag, ground sheet, windows, utility ports repair and anchor kits as standard supported by a large range of accessories to suit all.
