LOANER’S CLOSET & COMMUNITY CAREGIVERS PURCHASED HUBSCRUB ™
TO CLEAN AND DISINFECT DONATED AND RETURNED DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Community Caregivers of Greater Derry & the Loaner’s Closet for Durable Medical Equipment have exciting news to announce for the new year. The Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief & Recovery (GOFERR) and the Cogswell Benevolent Trust have collectively awarded Community Caregivers the $20,000 needed to purchase a HUBSCRUB™ equipment sanitizing appliance.
The purchase of a HUBSCRUBTM has been a long-time dream of Caregivers & the Loaner’s Closet, and in the current pandemic, a necessary part of safely disinfecting donated and returned durable medical equipment. Previously, items had been washed by hand, a labor-intensive and less-effective undertaking.
The HUBSCRUBTM unit can house a 24” fully-opened bariatric wheelchair, and clean and sanitize it to be C-Diff & MRSA certified in under six minutes using UV Light and a proprietary cleaning process.
