A Safer, More Efficient Way to Manage Removal

Efficient, cost-effective waste and hazardous materials removal is critical to maintaining a hospital’s sanitary health environment, managing infection control, as well as providing a positive image to its patients and staff. The traditional method of batching pick ups is no longer adequate in today’s consumer-driven environment.

Aethon provides environmental services with automated, technology-driven waste removal through its Intelligent Automated Robotic Delivery System (ARD) known as TUG®. TUG can transport scheduled and on-demand waste materials removal without the need for any human escort, and is available for service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

TUG provides significant FTE savings, allowing environmental services to run as cost-efficiently as possible. In addition, the reliability of TUG allows nursing staff to focus more of their time and energy on patient care instead of manually removing waste materials from their floor. The end result is a well-maintained sanitary environment, satisfied patients and staff, and better patient outcomes.

Key Benefits Summary
