Healthcare Sanitization
Sanitize with Hydrogen Peroxide
One of the most versatile sanitization techniques is the use of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor or H2O2. It is widely know for its effectiveness against all sorts of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses on a broad range of hard surfaces. In those tests, the improved hydrogen peroxide active ingredient proved to have a greater log-reduction of organisms

Have you considered in-house sanitization?
Since the onset of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, reducing the transmission of healthcare-associated infections has become even more important. Cleaning and disinfecting are critical to reducing the risk of transmission, but is there another step that hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and skilled nursing facilities can take? There have been many studies being published recently praising

Using H2O2 as an Indoor Disinfectant
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor has been used to disinfect a wide range of biological contaminants in hospitals and laboratories. H2O2 has attracted renewed attention due to its capabilities for inactivation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and had found immediate use on N95 respirators, allowing their subsequent reuse, as well as potential use for decontamination of indoor spaces

Disinfecting Hospital Surfaces Contaminated with Multi resistant Bacteria
The emergence of multiresistant bacterial strains as agents of healthcare-related infection in hospitals has prompted a review of the control techniques, with an added emphasis on preventive measures, namely good clinical practices, antimicrobial stewardship, and appropriate environmental cleaning. The latter item is about the choice of an appropriate disinfectant as a critical role due to

Bolster your sanitizing capabilities
Hydrogen peroxide is currently in very high demand from hospitals fighting the spread of COVID-19. Research has shown that oxidizing disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide are particularly effective against coronaviruses. Hydrogen peroxide is regularly used to disinfect medical equipment and is often preferred to bleach since it safely degrades into water and oxygen when exposed

Combating HAIs with H2O2 vapor bio-decontamination
Our goal is to improve all hospital infection control practices, including cleaning and disinfection, as well as behavioral and environmental practices, to the point where preventing the spread of these multiple-drug-resistant organisms also minimizes the chances of patients becoming infected and improves their chances of recovery.

H2O2 effect on Hospital-acquired infection rates
The hospital acquired infections are very common in any health care setting due to certain bacteria, viruses and fungi. In order to find out a solution to this problem, this preliminary study was designed to find out the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide fumigation in reducing the number of microorganisms and improving the disinfection of hospital

Reprocessing Personal Protective Equipment with hydrogen peroxide vapor
In September and November of 2020 a study, led by researchers from Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center, Houston, conducted research on the use of hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) technology on a large scale to reprocess Personal Protective Equipment in a healthcare system. The researchers were able to recapture and reprocess 29,706 units using HPV, with

Battling the age-old pandemic of healthcare-associated infections
Effective infection control strategies limiting the spread of drug resistance and reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) needs to be urgently addressed. Following conventional manual cleaning with disinfectants, 10% of high-touch hospital surfaces remain contaminated. A comprehensive study is proposed to investigate the microbiological and clinical impact of adequate area decontamination upon HAI rates. The
