TRANSCRIPT
CaterinaD E S I G N E D F O R H E A LT H C A R EThe Caterina was designed for use throughout any hospital. The chair frames look like wood,
but are actually made from a ground-breaking, solid surface (⅛” thick), high-impact-resistant
polymer which means they don’t have any of the drawbacks of wood. The frames are moisture
impervious and can be cleaned for at least 10 years using any of the EPA-registered
antimicrobial products effective against C. diff. (even 100% bleach), without diminishing the
chair surface’s integrity or appearance.
B U I LT F O R I N F E C T I O N P R E V E N T I O NOn the patient’s road to recovery and sustained good health, cleanliness is critical. Combining
appropriate furniture materials with the correct cleaning products and protocols ensures
effective surface disinfection, reducing the risk of cross-transmission of HAIs. The Caterina
Guest/Multi Use Chair is built for infection prevention with a frame that does not support
microbial growth. The chair can also withstand the harshest daily cleaning regimens, including
bleach, without degrading its finish and appearance. Kwalu’s Caterina chair provides one
missing piece of the puzzle in infection prevention, contributing to the goal of eliminating deadly
pathogens before they can come into contact with healthcare workers, patients and guests.
