Spectrum Industrial launches Taktyle Hygienic sign

Manufacturer of health and safety signs, Spectrum Industrial has made a change to its Taktyle braille sign, developed to minimise the transfer of bacterial infection through its use.

15 years ago The Disability Discrimination act introduced the requirement for premises visited by the public to make adjustments to aid the disabled.

One such adjustment has been a more widespread use of the braille sign, now considered an integral part of a company's DDA responsibilities.

The Taktyle braille sign is die moulded from a single highly durable polyester sheet.

It is then screen printed on the reverse and vacuum formed to create the raised pictogram.

It features a patent protected locating ring and braille dot height.

The material and mould combine to ensure an accurate translation of the message through finger touch, movement and pressure.

For the sighted and visually impaired alike, the signs also deliver clear, effective messaging.

Paul Kantecki, managing director of Spectrum Industrial, has been working with a number of Primary Care Trusts to develop a range of biosign products to raise awareness and reduce the risk of bacteria related infections, a priority within the healthcare sector.

Independent tests have shown that the biosign anti-microbial range provides active hygienic protection and eliminates harmful microbes within 24 hours, including MRSA and E-coli.

The re-branded Taktyle Hygienic is highly resistant to chemicals and anti-bacterial cleaning agents, and is also very low maintenance.

With a smooth surface, low profile and edge-to-edge seal against the wall, the product can be easily wiped clean in seconds or withstand deep clean methods.
