Infection prevention
Hygipod MSU is a hygienic bed head trunking solution designed for patient environments where infection prevention is critical. Engineered as a vertical bedhead services trunking system, it reduces joints, ledges and dirt traps to support safer, cleaner hospital settings.
Integrated services
Everything needed at the bedside, pre-configured and factory assembled before it reaches site.
Medical gas outlets
Oxygen, vacuum and gas terminals, pre-installed to spec.
Electrical sockets
Switched and unswitched sockets, wired for connection.
Data ports
CAT5e or CAT6 data points integrated within the unit.
Nurse call systems
Pre-installed and configured for the ward environment.
USB charging ports
Available where specified for patient device charging.
Bedhead lighting
Mounting surface for bedhead lighting and patient monitors.
Equipotential earth bonding
Integrated bonding points for electrical compliance.
Smooth hygienic PVC exterior
Manufactured from durable Trovex PVC, the Hygipod MSU exterior provides a smooth, non-porous surface that supports effective cleaning and infection control. Available in over 45 colours and finishes, it integrates easily into clinical bedhead solutions.
Ventilation & bed head trunking
Hygipod MSU and Vent combine bedside services and ventilation: the modular MSU speeds ward construction, while the Vent’s angled grill ensures efficient airflow. Together they save space and improve infection control.
Discover Hygipod VentThermoformed corners and edges
Thermoformed corners and edges create a continuous surface across the bedhead medical trunking, eliminating joints where dirt or bacteria could collect. This seamless construction supports regular deep cleaning in demanding healthcare environments.
Hinged access doors and panels
Hinged access doors allow safe, straightforward maintenance of bedhead services without disrupting hygiene. Panels overlap precisely to minimise visible joints, maintaining a consistent, wipe-clean surface throughout the trunking system.
Flush-fitting ports and sockets
All medical supply connections, alarms, sockets and systems are flush-fitted to the panel face. This removes ledges that could harbour contaminants, making bedhead trunking easier to clean and safer for patient use.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Hospital bed head trunking is a modular service panel system installed beside hospital beds to deliver medical gases, electrical power, data connections, nurse call systems, and lighting directly to each patient bedspace. The trunking conceals and protects all services within a hygienic, accessible enclosure mounted at bedhead level.
Bed head trunking like Hygipod MSU consolidates all bedside services into a single prefabricated unit, replacing traditional exposed pipework and surface-mounted outlets. The system features internal ducts separating power, data, and medical gas lines for safety compliance, with lockable hinged access doors enabling straightforward testing and maintenance. Manufactured from robust Hygiboard material with seamless PVC construction, bed head trunking provides smooth, wipe-clean surfaces designed for infection prevention in clinical environments.
Hygipod MSU is Trovex's modular bed head trunking system designed to accelerate ward construction whilst delivering bedside medical services in NHS hospitals and healthcare facilities. MSU refers to the modular service unit configuration consolidating medical gases, power, data, lighting, and nurse call systems into a single prefabricated platform.
Each Hygipod MSU features seamless PVC construction with smooth edges and flush fittings to minimise pathogen collection points, prioritising infection control through vertical bed head trunking design. The system is configurable with 45+ PVC colour and finish options to match ward aesthetics and support wayfinding. Built from Hygiboard, the robust material safely encapsulates all bedside services whilst supporting accessory mounting including rails, reading lights, examination lights, and privacy screens.
Bed head trunking improves patient room functionality by consolidating all bedside services into organised, accessible locations, eliminating trailing cables and exposed pipework, reducing clutter, and enabling clinical staff to quickly locate power, medical gases, and nurse call systems during patient care. Hygipod MSU delivers these functional benefits through prefabricated modular design.
Consolidated service delivery places oxygen, suction, medical air, electrical outlets, data points, nurse call buttons, and lighting controls at consistent positions above each bed. This standardisation improves clinical workflow efficiency, particularly during emergencies when rapid access to services is critical. The vertical orientation keeps bedside areas clear, allowing easier bed repositioning and reducing trip hazards from floor-level cables. Lockable access doors enable estates teams to test, maintain, and upgrade services without disrupting adjacent bed spaces.
Hospital bed trunking in the UK must comply with HTM 02-01 (medical gas pipeline systems), HTM 06-01 (electrical services), HTM 07-06 (fire safety), Building Regulations Part B (fire safety), Part L (conservation of fuel and power), and relevant BS EN standards for medical equipment safety. Hygipod MSU is designed to meet these healthcare building standards and NHS requirements.
Key compliance requirements include: medical gas outlets meeting HTM 02-01 specifications for terminal units, flow rates, and testing protocols; electrical installations complying with BS 7671 wiring regulations and HTM 06-01 healthcare-specific guidance; fire-rated materials and compartmentation meeting HTM 07-06 requirements; and appropriate IP ratings for electrical components in clinical areas. Hygipod MSU's factory-assembled construction ensures consistent compliance standards across every installation.
Hospital bed head trunking is maintained by conducting routine visual inspections, testing medical gas outlets per HTM 02-01 schedules, verifying electrical safety, cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, and accessing internal services through lockable doors for repairs or upgrades. Hygipod MSU simplifies maintenance through hinged access doors rather than removable snap panels.
Daily cleaning involves wiping all external PVC surfaces with chlorine-based disinfectants, alcohol wipes, or other healthcare-approved cleaning agents, taking advantage of the smooth, seamless construction eliminating crevices where contaminants accumulate. The durable PVC finish resists chemical damage and staining from repeated cleaning cycles essential in clinical areas. Scheduled maintenance requires estates teams to unlock hinged access doors revealing all internal pipework, valves, electrical connections, and data terminations for inspection, testing, or component replacement.
