Antimicrobial-treated castors
Antimicrobial-treated castors
Nosocomial infections are a serious cause of concern. In hospitals world-wide, recovery is often delayed because patients succumb to bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Strict hygienic directives in hospitals and care homes are therefore necessary to avoid disease outbreaks. To comply with these directives, surfaces of hospital equipment are treated with antibacterial compounds to inhibit bacterial growth.However, antibacterial agents exclusively combat bacteria, whereas antimicrobials affect a variety of different pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi and algae. TENTE-ROLLEN is now offering hospital bed castors treated with antimicrobials. The cover caps of hospital bed castor series 2040 INTEGRAL and 2070 COVER DESIGN incorporate antimicrobial compounds, detailed tests have confirmed that this successfully inhibits microbial growth.
