Medical & Care-giving spaces
We have seen how quickly Covid-19 has taken hold of care homes and hospitals, with devastating effect.
Vitec Microgenix reduces the risk of transmission drastically, not just from harmful viruses but bacteria such as MRSA , mould, and other pathogens.
Our products ensure that patients with already reduced immune systems are protected from further threat and that people working as care givers to vulnerable people are also protected whilst they carry out their essential work.
Observe our medical case studies for more information about how our products benefit your industry.
Case study – Preventing an outbreak
In Lewisham hospital there was an outbreak of aspergillius. 7 spaces across the hospital were tested for their microbial loads.
One of those spaces was room 23, which had been treated with Vitec products, resulting in the lowest spread of the outbreak. All other rooms/hospital spaces with the same exposure, tested significantly higher for the spread of microbial load. This shows us that Vitec products are undoubtedly effective in intercepting the spread of infectious microbes.
Case study – Hospital bedsheets (useful for hospitality textiles also)
Bristol University completed a study using our products to clean bedsheets from a hospital, they were tested in one of Europe’s most popular commercial laundry appliances and washed repeatedly over a period of 12 months.
The results showed that as little as 1% of our solution included in the detergent ensured that the antimicrobial nanotechnology was active in the sheets for up to 80 washes, massively increasing sterility and reducing the chance for spread of infection.
This would also be massively beneficial for hospitality and leisure sectors who also provide services that include the use of bedsheets, napkins, robes, towels and other reusable, interchangeable textiles.
