In medicine, a slip-up in infection control for even a brief moment can be disastrous. Hospitals and healthcare schools handle hundreds of devices on a daily basis, some being shared among several users several times in high-stress settings. Traditional alcohol wipe or spray decontamination is not only time-consuming, but also has the potential to degrade sensitive electronics and optics over the long term. As the role of technology expands in medical training and clinical practice, there is a critical need for a more efficient, scalable, and reliable hygienic solution.
This Uvisan UVC cabinet case study discusses the manner in which a single large healthcare centre successfully implemented the use of Uvisan’s UV-C disinfection cabinets to improve hygienic protocols, protect staff and patients, and ease daily functions.
The healthcare centre was expanding its use of common technology among departments, like:
Although these machines were necessary to optimise efficiency and patient care, they also introduced hygiene complications. Equipment moved between wards, classrooms, and training rooms, so dozens of people could potentially touch the same headset, keyboard, or scanner during a single day. Hosing down things took too long, and doubts arose regarding consistency and effectiveness.
Several key staff concerns emerged:
The facility’s infection control department researched various cleaning technologies before selecting Uvisan. The combination that won out was laboratory-proven UV-C effectiveness coupled with practical, real-world usability. Compared to chemical wipes, Uvisan cabinets will sterilise equipment in minutes, with no liquids or heat that can damage components.
Among the factors that influenced the decision were:
The project was implemented in three phases:
With NHS England’s Technology Enhanced Learning team, the hospital piloted Uvisan cabinets across its simulation training department. At this stage, staff compared cleaning outcomes with their normal manual procedures. The results indicated immediate turnaround time and peace-of-mind improvements.
After the trial had been successful, cabinets were deployed to high-usage areas of the hospital, including clinical training rooms and IT suites. Cabinets of different sizes were chosen to meet departmental needs, from the compact VRProXS for smaller items to the larger VRProM for bulk storage and disinfection.
Departments began using Uvisan not only for VR headsets but also for tablets, diagnostic scanners, and laptops. Staff feedback reinforced that devices were not only efficiently disinfected but also charged and safely stored, alleviating the logistical headache that otherwise hindered operations.
The benefits of UVC cabinets in hospitals were noticeable practically immediately. This UVC disinfection in healthcare case study pinpoints a variety of measurable benefits:
User feedback has been uniformly positive. One clinician observed: “It’s reassuring to know that every headset is clean and ready for use, especially when moving quickly between teaching sessions.”
Reassurance was drawn by the hospital staff from independent research, such as the Keele University report, comparing Uvisan technology with alternatives like Cleanbox. The study demonstrated that Uvisan’s reflective internal surface and multi-directional emitters achieved significantly higher bacterial kill on high-touch headset areas than systems utilising single-directional LEDs.
This proof was critical in securing infection control committee approval, who required evidence in writing that the technology would hold up to clinical stresses in the real world.
The success of the project has opened the door to greater use of UV-C disinfection across NHS environments. As one of the first uses of Uvisan UVC cabinet NHS, the case illustrates how UV-C automation can contribute to infection control policy, especially in the context of shared medical devices.
It also highlights a scalable architecture, from small, portable units that can be mounted in simulation suites to high-volume Cleanroom systems with end-to-end sterilisation of an entire room. Its flexibility allows hospitals to scale solutions to suit individual workflows.
This UVC cabinet infection control hospital project demonstrated that UV-C technology is more than a theoretical solution, but a real-world, practical tool used on a daily basis. Switching from manual wipes to UVC sterilisation cabinets, healthcare establishments gain:
These advantages are not limited to healthcare. Other industries, education through enterprise, can tap the same proven methodology.
Whereas the primary topic here was healthcare, Uvisan cabinets are being utilised in a range of other industries:
This is the flexibility that indicates that shared medical equipment UVC disinfection is merely part of the bigger picture, UV-C is becoming the standard for safely operating shared technology in all environments.
The Uvisan VRProM cabinet medical facility utilised in this instance was especially prized for its flexibility and size. The university’s ability to disinfect several VR headsets or laptops simultaneously, enabled entire classes of students to train without disruption. Combined with charging and storage, it streamlined workflows and decreased staff stress.
This underscores the benefit of UVC cabinets in hospitals: they’re not just a hygiene solution, but an accelerator of smoother, more efficient operations.
For hospitals facing rising pressures, whether these are from rising patient volumes, constrained budgets, or requirements for compliance, Uvisan cabinets offer real-world operational advantages in addition to infection control.
As medicine keeps on digitising, co technology can only become more widespread. From electronic medical records to VR-based treatment, the need for effective disinfection routines will grow. Hospital UVC sanitisation solutions like Uvisan’s cabinets are already proving their worth in today’s clinical environments and will be at the centre of the hospitals of the future.
The plant in the subject case study is now diversifying into additional applications, such as disinfecting whole rooms with Uvisan’s Cleanroom technology. By implementing UV-C as a means of their overall infection control strategy, they are setting a standard that others can follow.
This case study illustrates how Uvisan’s UV-C cabinets transformed infection control in a high-volume healthcare environment. By combining proven science with real-world convenience, the hospital achieved faster cleaning, better device turnaround, and enhanced peace of mind for patients and staff alike.
For healthcare organisations looking to refresh their infection control, Uvisan is not only a cabinet, it is a means to safer, more effective use of technology in healthcare and beyond.
