Overview
A clinical evaluation of Inodorus® OdorCare Pads was conducted at Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala, Sweden, within the Department of Vascular Surgery.
The evaluation was led by Specialist Nurse Cecilia Lanz, who tested the pads in different areas of the ward where odour control is particularly important. The purpose was to assess how effectively the product could reduce unpleasant odours while remaining easy to use in daily clinical routines.
The Challenge
In hospital environments, maintaining a clean and pleasant atmosphere is essential for patient well-being, staff performance, and the overall quality of care. Persistent unpleasant odours may arise from sanitation areas, medical treatments, or patients with complex conditions such as chronic or hard-to-heal wounds.
Prebona Inodorus® OdorCare Pads offer an innovative solution designed to effectively eliminate unwanted odours and improve the overall environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
The Solution
The department introduced Inodorus OdorCare Pads, an odour-eliminating product developed by Prebona. The pads were placed in areas where odor problems typically occur,
including:
- Bathrooms and toilet facilities
- Patient rooms
- Areas close to patients with difficult or chronic wounds
A practical advantage observed during the evaluation was the flexibility of the pads. They can easily be cut into smaller pieces, allowing staff to adapt them for different applications and locations within the clinical environment.
Results
After implementing Inodorus OdorCare Pads, the clinical team observed several clear benefits:
- Effective Odour Elimination: Unpleasant odours were significantly reduced or completely removed.
- Improved Patient Comfort: A fresher environment contributed to a more comfortable experience for patients and visitors.
- Better Working Environment for Staff: Healthcare professionals reported a more pleasant and hygienic workspace.
- Practical and Flexible Use: The pads proved easy to handle and could be adapted to different situations.
Testimonial
”Inodorus OdorCare Pads have proven to be a very useful product in our daily work. The odour-reducing effect exceeded our expectations, particularly in challenging environments such as rooms with patients suffering from hard-to-heal wounds. The pads are simple to use and easy to adapt for different situations, which makes them highly practical in a clinical setting.”
