The Larco U-WAV Featured in St. Margaret's Hospital in Spring Valley, Illinois

As a Catholic hospital located in Spring Valley, Illinois, St. Margaret's Hospital takes a holistic and compassionate approach to health care. Here, patients can receive everything from cancer treatment or surgical procedures to pastoral care.

Recently, St. Margaret's built a brand-new surgical suite consisting of three major surgery rooms and two cystoscopy rooms. In this suite, surgical patients benefit from the latest technology including the C-Arm, Fiber-Optic Scope and Computerized Anesthesia Units. This enclosed suite was also designed to be a highly sterile environment - so the doctors, administrators, and facility managers at St. Margaret' wanted to find an automatic door solution that would keep incoming germs to a minimum.

Greg Rowley, a veteran Service Technician who works at Advanced Door Control Inc., has installed and serviced most of the automatic doors at St. Margaret's. After testing a new product sample from Larco and comparing it to a few competitors, Greg ordered and installed the U-WAV^TM touchless sensor to activate the main access doors to this surgical area.

Greg says, "In a sterilized surgery area, doctors don't want to touch anything they don't have to." In addition to great performance, Greg says the U-WAV "looks great" in the state-of-the-art facility, with a low-profile and sleep design that blends into its surroundings.

Available in black, gray, or white models, the low-profile U-WAV blends into virtually any environment. The sensor is designed for touchless door activation of automatic doors, lighting controls, or call points.
