Enware Australia supplied and installed a proven range of LEEC body handling solutions for Wollongong Hospital’s newly refurbished mortuary facility.

Available from Enware throughout Australia and New Zealand, the LEEC products supplied at the Wollongong Hospital included stainless steel height adjustable racking systems, body trays, mobile extraction autopsy tables as well as semi-obese and bariatric equipment designed to accommodate bodies weighing up to 415kg.

According to Enware Business Development Manager Mr Jordi Skelton, the LEEC mortuary equipment supplied by Enware provides economical, functional and operational benefits to the hospital in terms of improved storage capacity and flexibility, elimination of unnecessary handling, easier access for equipment cleaning and reduced energy costs, especially in the unique fridge/freezer cabinet system.

Based on feedback from clinicians and current user groups on usage and requirements, Enware redesigned the space to be more effective, efficient and functional. Consideration was also given to the overall master plan of Wollongong Hospital and its projected future use.

Hygiene being a major consideration in the refurbishment, Enware introduced the LEEC tray transfer system to greatly reduce manual handling and other health and safety issues within the department. LEEC’s ‘Body Handling’ concept is based on reducing physical effort, as well as minimising repeated handling and hazardous practices.

Enware’s offering for the LEEC equipment encompasses supply, training, installation and ongoing service and maintenance. The company supplied bespoke autopsy stations to meet Wollongong Hospital’s specific infection control requirements.
