ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACE COATING REDUCES HOSPITAL PATHOGENS BY 99%, STUDY FINDS

摘要

A study published in the American Journal of Infection Control confirms the effectiveness of new technology in reducing hospital surface bacteria by more than 99% at least eight weeks after initial application. Conducted by the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science at the University of Arizona, US, the study focused on Allied BioScience's SurfaceWise, an antimicrobial coating that provides continuous disinfecting action when applied to almost any surface. SurfaceWise is an invisible coating that binds to surfaces at a molecular level, forming a protective shield that creates a hostile microscopic environment for pathogens. As surfaces are recontamin-ated, the treated surface reacts to fight the threat.
