Microban: Hospital furniture fight superbugs
Knowing that good hygiene practice is critical to the prevention of cross contamination, New Style Healthcare services are introducing a range of unique hospital furniture to the UK which incorporates Microban® built in antibacterial technology.
Superbugs such as C. difficile and MRSA have hit the headlines over the last year highlighting the importance of fighting infection in hospitals and the need to increase the level of hygiene. Newstyle Healthcare Services hope to help healthcare establishments across the UK by stocking a range of furniture for hospitals and care homes with Microban® built-in antibacterial protection.
The Microban® technology is built-in protection which helps to keep healthcare furniture cleaner between being cleaned by fighting the growth of microbes, such as bacteria, mould and mildew that can cause odours, stains and product degradation. Incorporated during the manufacturing process, Microban® protection is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial protection that will last the useful life of any product.
Dr. Nicholas Moon at Microban® said: “We are at our most vulnerable when we are ill, which is why every extra measure that can be taken to ensure our wellbeing and comfort, is a step in the right direction.”
