Shatterproof Germicidal UV Lamps for Medical, Healthcare and Hygiene Applications
Specialist UVC Disinfection Lamps for Medical, Healthcare and Hygiene Applications
Covershield Medical Germicidal UVC Lamps provide a specialist ultraviolet disinfection solution for healthcare, medical, laboratory, commercial and hygiene-sensitive environments where effective microbial control and safety are essential.
Our germicidal lamps emit short-wave ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation, designed to inactivate a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, moulds and other pathogens. UVC technology works by damaging the genetic material of microorganisms, helping prevent their replication and reducing microbial contamination when the correct exposure conditions are achieved.
What makes Covershield germicidal lamps different is their specialist shatterproof protection.
Each lamp is fitted with a clear protective plastic sleeve surrounding the glass tube. This additional safety feature is designed to help retain broken glass fragments in the event of accidental breakage, reducing the risk of contamination, injury and disruption in sensitive working environments.
By combining germicidal UVC technology with protective glass containment, Covershield offers an added level of protection for organisations where hygiene, cleanliness and operational safety are a priority.

Specialist Shatterproof Glass Protection
In medical, laboratory and other hygiene-controlled environments, accidental lamp breakage can create additional hazards through glass contamination and potential exposure to lamp contents.
Covershield’s protective sleeve is designed to provide an additional barrier surrounding the lamp, helping retain fragments if the glass breaks.
This makes shatterproof protection particularly valuable in applications where exposed glass could create contamination risks or where equipment maintenance and workplace safety are important considerations.
Our protective lamp coverings are intended to provide an additional safety feature without changing the basic function of a compatible germicidal lamp system.

Important Safety Information
Germicidal UVC radiation can cause serious damage to eyes and skin. These lamps must only be operated in correctly designed, enclosed or interlocked equipment by suitably trained personnel.
The protective sleeve must be confirmed as compatible with the lamp’s germicidal wavelength and operating temperature. UVC transmission, lamp output, system compatibility and disinfection performance should be verified before use. A shatterproof sleeve does not make direct UVC exposure safe.
