BioCoteŽ protected products are offered at very competitive prices, allowing anyone purchasing for healthcare establishments the ability to create an economic, hygienic environment that can assist in reducing HCAIs.
BioCoteŽ technology, in the form of silver ions, can be incorporated into almost any product at the time of manufacture, from beds to blinds plastic gloves to paper envelopes. The silver ions concentrate on the surface of these products, reducing the amount of bacteria, mould and fungi present by up to 99.9% over a 24 hour period.
Silver is a natural safe antimicrobial and is currently used in the healthcare sector in silver-coated wound dressings and catheters to reduce levels of infection.
The need to reduce HCAIs and cross-contamination has never been greater, with relentless pressure from the media, government and general public to become more hygienic.
With hygiene standards and patient safety a top priority for all healthcare professionals, no-one can deny that every measure should be taken to lower the risks of cross-contamination. BioCoteŽ protected products complement hygiene practices, such as cleaning and hand hygiene, acting as an additional line of defence against harmful microbes.
Matthew Harte, Managing Director, comments, ‘Despite regular cleaning, it is impossible to keep surfaces clean every minute of every day. BioCoteŽ works 24 hours a day, to reduce the levels of bacteria, mould and fungi on surfaces, in between cleaning”
