|
| |
|
An Antimicrobial/Sporicidal Toilet Spray
To use in toilets and washrooms giving protection against C difficile spores and bacteria with long lasting action. In high risk areas such as toilets you should not attempt to clean a surface with wipes. You may become contaminated and should therefore always use a spray to reduce the risk of surface contact. |
|
| |
|
Bactericidal Skin Wipes
To protect against contamination and infection from contact with others and from your environment. |
|
| |
|
An Emollient Barrier Cream
To prevent bacterial contamination of broken skin such as athlete’s foot, rough skin or bedsores and to preserve the skin when hand gels are constantly being used. |
|
| |

Long lasting
A clean surface will normally only remain clean till the next contaminated contact.
Choose one of the new sanitisers which will keep the surface clean for longer. |
|
| |
|
Sufficient quantity
All products should be used liberally to give the greatest protection. Buy sensible sized products which will last before, during and after your stay in hospital e.g. 250ml bodywash. Used properly each shower will use 10 – 15 ml of bodywash. |
|
| |
|
Antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral or sporicidal?
Almost any antibacterial will kill 99.9% of bacteria such as MRSA but they MAY NOT protect you from viruses, fungi or spores. You can choose a sporicidal product which will protect you from C. difficile spores. Choose a virucidal to protect against swine, avian or human flu virus.
Some products protect against bacteria, spores, viruses and fungi all at the same time. These are in use in some hospitals and healthcare establishments and are now available for you to buy on this site. |
|
| |
|
Effective and Tested to EU standards
If the sanitiser you buy is already being used by the NHS, you know that it has undergone rigorous testing and is known to be effective. Most of the products on this site are in use in UK hospitals. |

Safe
Choose products which are skin kind, non hazardous, non toxic, will not bleach or stain. |
