Surface disinfection with long-term effect, which lasts for up to 10 days

Humans have been creating disinfectants for millennia and of course some are more effective than others; for example we moved from vinegar to bleach (Sodium hypochlorite) both of which have served mankind very well. Over recent years we have been using alcohol, iodine and hydrogen peroxide to disinfect surfaces but the problem with these disinfectants is that they are good at disinfecting, at the point when they are wiped over a surface, but they offer no residual benefits. For example, imagine the process of disinfecting a hospital room. A person starts cleaning the surfaces on the left hand side of the room, by the time that they have reached the right hand side of the room the freshly cleaned surfaces may have been re-colonised by pathogens. This is clearly a completely unsatisfactory process. The healthcare sector needed to find a solution to this problem and the solution lay in creating a disinfectant which combined sterilisation with long term residual protection. The solution became Bacoban®.

Bacoban® is a patented surface disinfectant which uses a completely new approach. It uses a semi permanent nano scale layer of SiO2 (better known as Liquid Glass). This layer holds within it, anti pathogen agents, which are slowly released whilst the surface is in place (up to 10 days). Not only is *Bacoban® effective against bacteria but it is also effective against a wide range of pathogens including Hepatitis, Influenza, HIV, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans .

 

Bacoban® closes the hygiene gap that arises between disinfection cycles. This allows for active infection control for an extended period. Moreover Bacoban® reduces odors caused by bacteria.

Bacoban® is VAH-listed and CE certified as a class 2A medical device. Whilst being tested, by renowned institutions (following the ASTM E 2180 protocol used to establish long term efficacy) not only was the long term anti bacterial effect confirmed but additional testing indicated that Bacoban creates „easyto-clean“ surfaces, which reduces the cleaning time of the protected surfaces by approximately 50%.
