The Wicklow Street Clinic teams up with new Irish UV cleaning company UVSAN to reopen

The Wicklow Street Clinic on Dublin’s Wicklow Street, D2 is set to return to business with UV-C light sanitisation and a digital cleaning verification system.

The clinic has looked at its options and said that it realised that an additional UV-C light cleanse of each treatment room was the best practice to ensure client safety, alongside the HSE recommended cleaning regime.

Using new Irish UV cleaning company UVSAN, along with a new cleaning verification system called VERI-SAN, the clinic said it hopes to restore customer and staff confidence.

UVSAN uses UV-C machines that are proven to kill viruses and bacteria. The Wicklow Street Clinic said it has decided on these machines as they are compact enough to move from room to room, and have 360-degree light dispersal, ensuring that anything a therapist may have missed while cleaning is fully sanitised.

VERI-SAN replaces the traditional paper cleaning schedule with a digital sanitisation schedule that verifies the procedure of cleaning the room via digital signing, and also stores the data safely in the cloud for the customer and business owner’s peace of mind.

“We looked at lots of different ideas to help restore client confidence in the clinic, including handheld UV sterilisers, but they seemed impractical as you need to hold the light there for 15 to 20 minutes,” said Rasa Levinaite, MD of The Wicklow Street Clinic. 

“The UVSAN system is a lot more workable for us as a clinic. We can rotate treatment rooms and leave it to work at sterilising the room before the next client arrives. The VERI-SAN system is much more practical and hygienic for our staff than using paper, as it's all documented and signed digitally on a phone or tablet.”
