A word from Nicolas Beck, CEO at Cleanis
Whenever I describe Cleanis to anybody, I always start with our Mission: To reduce the number of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and improve the safety, comfort and dignity of patients, their loved ones and healthcare professionals.
I stress that caring for healthcare professionals is just as important as caring for patients for many reasons, including the fact that, as human beings, healthcare professionals deserve protection and dignity as much as anyone else. Ensuring the highest level of protection and dignity is our Mission; this is who we are and what we do day in and day out.
Nicolas Beck, CEO at Cleanis.
Driving Innovation
In the 1990s, a French physician told his inventor son that there must be a better way to manage patient waste. Together they designed the innovative CareBag® liner and super-absorbent pad.
This award-winning product — which follows the CDC’s protocol of effectively managing hazards — has become the standard of care by the French Ministry of Health and other U.S. and international health authorities.
