ROSWELL, Ga., June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To enhance efficiencies and improve the patient and tenant experience, Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced a compact, high-capacity roll towel dispenser from the Scott Brand, the most well-known washroom brand in the U.S. and one of the world's most trusted.

In a recent survey, 64 percent of patients said they feel more cared for and more at home when seeing familiar brands like Scott Brand products. The Scott Mod Slimroll Towel Dispenser brings this renowned brand to patient rooms, nurses' stations, office break rooms and other small spaces where towel run-out is a key concern.

The system delivers three times more towels per unit than folded systems, making it ideal for healthcare facilities, office buildings and anywhere that space is at a premium.

In addition to offering hygienic dispensing in a sleek, contemporary Mod design, the new dispenser offers Scott Brand benefits such as:

• Proven performance and a lifetime warranty
• Reliable dispensing from an established washroom brand
• 20 percent fewer change-outs to minimize run-out and maximize efficiency and hand hygiene
• A quick-load feature to enable staff members to focus on what matters most
• Touchless technology along with the bacteria-reducing benefits of drying with a paper towel
• Compostable¹ Scott Brand towels that are FSC® and ECOLOGO certified and meet EPA guidelines for post-consumer recycled content

"A dispenser from a recognizable, trusted brand like the Scott Brand lets patients and tenants know you care while minimizing disruptions that can impact satisfaction," said Karel van der Mandele, senior director, Health and Wellness, Kimberly-Clark Professional, North America. "And by reducing the risk of run-out, this compact, yet long-lasting system gives staff members the time to focus on more important tasks."
