Hospitals are places of healing - where sick or injured people come for medical or surgical care. Unfortunately, due to an increasing risk for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), they are also a place where patients can become ill. To help reduce the occurrence of HAIs, hospital staff are using more aggressive disinfectants to wipe down hospital room surfaces and equipment. With this in mind, Bayer MaterialScience LLC has introduced a new polycarbonate blend grade that offers a high level of chemical resistance against many of the most aggressive disinfectants. Using a material with high chemical resistance can help reduce the prevalence of HAIs, thereby improving patient safety and helping provide a solution to one of today's healthcare challenges. Reducing the prevalence of HAIs also extends the life of medical devices exposed to these powerful disinfectants.
