"This is an inorganic based antimicrobial system which reduces bacteria in contact by more than 99% in the first 24 hours and provides no opportunity for them to mutate or survive the process".
"This development will further improve the already inherent infection control characteristics of the Sluicemaster and help limit hospital acquired infections".
Haigh recognises the hazard posed by Stappalocous Aureas (resitant strains) and others including Salmonella, E.coli, Campilobactor.
The company is dedicated to helping to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
This antimcrobial is not a panacea, but one more step taken to reduce the risks from infections when used as part of regular hospital cleaning regimes.
All future Sluicemasters will have inbuilt antimicrobial qualities as standard.
Because the anti-microbial is part of the structure of the materials used to build it will provide long lasting protection, even if washed regularly.
Sluicemasters already provide an infection control boost to hospitals.
This development compliments the Sluicemaster's advanced cycle to reduce power and water use, reduce noise and a faster cycle time.
