The potential for hospital-acquired infection is a major issue for hospital managers, practice managers and the public alike.
It counts for little if the equipment being used can carry infection from one patient to the next. Good practice dictates that hospitals work towards a reduction in the number of patients who become ill from germs picked up during a hospital stay, as well as safeguarding hospital staff.
Cross-infection and cleanliness are significant issues facing health professionals – and is ready to help, continuously seeking the most effective, and cost-effective, solutions.

Surface Disinfectants
How do you choose your disinfectant: by its smell, name, colour and bottle, or because it’s clinically proven with independently researched test papers and has a medical CE mark?
is your new weapon in the fight against cross infection. Whilst conventional surface disinfectants are only effective for some 30 minutes, Bacoban's patented nano-technology retains its effectiveness for significantly longer.
Independently tested by the Fresenius Institute (papers are available upon request.), Bacoban is proven to be effective for up to 10 days against
- viruses:
- including Hepatitis B and C, HIV, Influenza, Herpes and BVDV;
- bacteria:
- including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia Coli;
- fungal infections:
- including Aspergillus Niger and Candida Albicans.

Dispensers
There is no point in having an effective disinfectant if the dispenser is unhygienic. dispensers provide effective and environment friendly solutions, offering an optimum hygiene solution to a wide range of professional users.
 Available in both plastic and stainless steel, CombiPlum dispensers have a 1-litre disinfectant or hand cream capacity. As there is no carton, the consumption of packaging is minimised; it has no real function and increases the risk of fungal attacks in wet conditions.
Hung by the label, the bag is easy to mount and empties completely, further contributing to sound business economics. And the bag’s vacuum valve efficiently prevents bacteria from entering the product.
Last but not least, all parts are easy to dismantle and clean. The stainless steel dispensers are particularly attractive to hospitals because of their ease of cleaning and they can be autoclaved.
