Infection Control

Set the standard in infection prevention and controlWith unique antimicrobial coating

  • Novel antimicrobial coating
  • Seamless covers
  • Easy-to-clean design
  • Sealed tableside modules
  • Comprehensive cleaning concepts 

Whether a hospital is fighting a pandemic or trying to maintain the highest infection control standards; keeping hospital environments clean is crucial. 

Infection prevention and control play a vital role in any hospital environment, particularly in operating suites, intensive care units, paediatric units, and emergency rooms, where infections present a life-threatening risk to your patients.

The technology is effective against various microorganisms, is non-toxic, and won’t induce resistance. Unlike technology based on silver or copper, it is designed to last, giving you peace of mind and keeping your patients safe. 

  • Effective against various microorganisms
  • Works regardless of resistances against antibiotics (incl. MRSA, VRE, ESBL and legionellae)
  • Long-lasting antimicrobial effect, unlike methods using silver or copper
  • Non-toxic, with excellent biocompatibility and not based on nanoparticles  
Antimicrobial coating at work

This technology is based on the addition of a small amount of metal oxide within the system coating or paint.

When activated - simply by water - this metal oxide reacts to release an acid ion, causing a drop in the pH level of the systems’ outer surface.

With a new acidic pH level of 4 or 5, the coating is now similar to the protective acidic mantle of the human skin, effective against various microorganisms.
