Healthcare – reducing HCAIs

Healthcare-associated Infections (HCAIs) - BiocoteIt is estimated that 5000 people die each year as a result of Healthcare-associated Infections (HCAIs) – that’s higher than the number of road deaths each year!

The need to reduce HCAIs in healthcare establishments has never been greater, with hygiene standards and patient safety a top priority for all. With 1 in 8 patients having a hospital infection at any one time, pressure from the media, government and public to lower infection rates is relentless.

BioCote® is effective against Superbugs including MRSA, working as an additional line of defence against bacteria and complementing hygiene practices stated in the Department of Health’s Code of Practice. BioCote works in-between cleaning, 24 hours a day, to keep Superbugs to a minimum.

BioCote Ltd works with a number of international healthcare manufacturers and is currently being specified by top NHS Trusts.

BioCote® can be applied to most medical devices, instruments, equipment, fixtures and fittings, offering a complete antimicrobial environment at no or very little extra cost. If you market products to the healthcare sector and are interested in giving your range protection against HCAIs, BioCote® can assist.

As a professional concerned about HCAIs, take a look at the range of products available with BioCote® that provide the opportunity to create an entire, cost effective antimicrobial environment.

BioCote® is currently undergoing trials in a leading NHS Trust.
