The DELABIE – DVS hygienic waste without water level is unique in its market, representing significant innovation that could revolutionise hygiene within healthcare water systems.
Additionally, inclusivity is combined with innovation in the consideration of accessibility in the design, which should be fundamental within healthcare washrooms and sanitary facilities. As the first product of its kind on the market, the DELABIE – DVS hygienic waste is an ideal fit for all care environments.
Washbasin wastes pose an infection risk. They frequently become clogged with debris and residue, which promotes bacterial development and requires regular unblocking. They also retain water which can stagnate, leading to unpleasant smells. DELABIE – DVS has designed a water-free hygienic waste with an ingenious membrane that prevents odours.
The clever design of this hygienic water-free waste incorporates a smooth interior, with nowhere for hair and other residue to adhere. Maintenance is simple. Unlike conventional wastes, there is no need to dismantle the water level. Simply remove the dome to access the waste and clean with a brush. The simplicity of access and handling saves valuable time. Made from silicone, the water-free waste’s membrane is not only easy to clean but it is exceptionally durable.
DELABIE – DVS’ water-free hygienic waste can be cut to size to fit any type of sink. It connects directly to the pipework, avoiding the bulk of a siphon trap and freeing up precious space under the sink, especially for wheelchair users. Complying with the European standard EN 274, it has an evacuation flow rate of 36 lpm, guaranteeing maximum water drainage efficiency while respecting the most rigorous requirements in terms of hygiene and quality.
The DELABIE-DVS hygienic waste without water level was recognised at the 2025 Building Better Healthcare Awards, winning the Silver award for Best Patient Safety Initiative.
