GOOD DESIGN AWARD in BATHROOM AND ACCESSORIES category

Mediclinics’ U-Flow® hand dryer earns its prestigious awards not only for its ergonomic design but also for its integration of advanced technology and user-centric features. Besides its sleek, aerodynamic U-shape, which allows for unrestricted hand movement, components such as the HEPA filter, Biocote® antibacterial additive, and an ionizer work together to eliminate bacteria and viruses, meeting the highest hygiene and comfort standards required in high-traffic public spaces.

This functionality is matched by its eco-friendly credentials, offering up to 80% energy savings compared to traditional hand dryers. Despite its low power consumption, the U-Flow® does not compromise on performance, guaranteeing a quick drying experience for users. Installing the U-Flow is equally effortless, thanks to its plug-in technology that requires only three steps and ten seconds for setup, ensuring convenience for both installation and maintenance.
