Liko has provided its UltraTwin system making for the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Greater Manchester. The Christie Trust is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres.

The Likorall UltraTwin system was installed as part of extension works to the centre. It has not only eliminated any manual handling within the mortuary, but has also greatly reduced the number of man hours involved in dealing with each body. For example, moving an average sized body would take two people at least 20 minutes.

Andrew Pearson, Bereavement Services Manager, said:"No one could match Liko when it came to the equipment specifications, quality, performance, maintenance, after sales support and budget – all of which are vital elements”. As the system is typically secured to fixings above a suspended ceiling, many new build hospitals are choosing to cost its installation into the initial building plans as it is more cost effective to install at this time.

Andrew concluded:"Should we have a query, we know that if one of us speaks to our Liko area representative, Geoff Evans, he will come back with an or else be on site as soon as is physically possible. However, this has rarely been the case as so far we have not been able to fault the product.”
