In healthcare environments, maintaining a clean, hygienic, and visually professional space is crucial—not just for patient safety, but also for ease of ongoing maintenance. Many hospitals and healthcare facilities struggle with exposed plumbing and services, which can create challenges for infection control, cleaning, and maintenance access.
That’s where Hygipod IPS steps in. Designed to fully enclose plumbing and waste systems, Hygipod IPS is a prefabricated integrated plumbing system that conceals services behind a seamless, hygienic system—offering a clean, modern, and infection-controlled solution.
Let’s explore how Hygipod IPS transforms healthcare spaces from exposed pipework and maintenance challenges to a fully integrated, hygienic finish.
The problem with exposed pipework in healthcare settings
In traditional healthcare builds, pipework, waste systems, and plumbing services are often left exposed, or concealed within difficult-to-maintain panelling. This leads to several challenges:
Hygiene concerns - Exposed services are difficult to clean effectively and can become harbouring points for bacteria, increasing the risk of infection.
Complex maintenance – Estates teams often have to remove or dismantle fixed panels to access key services, leading to disruptions and increased labour costs.
Aesthetic and professional standards – In areas such as patient wards, consulting rooms, and staff areas, visible pipework and poorly finished installations can give an untidy, clinical, and outdated appearance.
The Hygipod IPS solution: A complete wall system for hygiene and maintenance
Hygipod IPS provides a prefabricated, modular solution that allows for the rapid installation of a flush-fitting, fully enclosed panel system designed specifically for healthcare environments.
Before: Exposed pipework, inconsistent finishes, difficult maintenance.
After: A seamless, fully enclosed, and hygienic solution that ensures compliance with infection control standards.
✅ Hygienically sealed finish – No visible fixings, significant edges, or ledges that could collect dust or bacteria.
✅ Seamless wall integration – Hygipod IPS can be installed as a full-wall system, creating a continuous, smooth, and hygienic surface.
✅ Easy maintenance access – The system is designed with hinged, lockable access panels, allowing estates teams to easily access services without dismantling the system.
✅ Fast installation – The prefabricated nature of Hygipod IPS reduces installation time compared to traditional methods, making it ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects.
✅ Durable and impact-resistant – With its high-performance PVC finish, Hygipod IPS is resistant to water, chemicals, and impact, ensuring longevity in high-traffic healthcare environments.
