Studies taking place for over 5 years in hospitals in Belgium, Italy, and Germany resulted in: 🛡️ 52% reduction in hospital-acquired infections. 🦠 99.9% reduction in antimicrobial resistance genes. “Switching to synbiotic cleaning was one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made. The reduction in infections speaks for itself.” – Head of Infection Control This means safer surfaces for staff and patients in hospitals using human-friendly products that require fewer chemicals.🌍🧴 #SynbioRevolution #InfectionControl #HealthcareInnovation #SaferHospitals #EcoFriendlyCleaning

🦠 A Powerful Ally Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria We saw a few news reports on tv about developing new antibiotics for drug-resistant bacteria over the weekend. Instead of developing more antibiotics, why not choose copper! Copper provides a natural defense by actively killing harmful bacteria within 2 hours of contact. This makes copper an essential part of infection prevention strategies in healthcare settings.

Reducing Infections for #Catheter Users: How UroShield® Makes a Difference   Urinary tract infections are a serious risk for anyone using a catheter, often leading to repeated hospital visits and complications. Nanovibronix (NASDAQ:NAOV)’s UroShield® offers a straightforward solution: it prevents biofilm from forming on catheter surfaces, reducing the likelihood of infection.   Here’s how it works: UroShield® uses gentle, low-frequency #ultrasound waves that create a barrier on the catheter surface, actively preventing bacteria from sticking and growing. This protection not only minimizes infection risk but also supports a better quality of life for users.   Accessible, effective, and designed with patients in mind—#UroShield® is making infection prevention simpler and safer.   #HealthcareSolutions #InfectionPrevention

As C. diff Awareness Month draws to a close, we reflect on the substantial impact of this persistent infection. C. diff is among the most common hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), placing a serious economic strain on healthcare systems, such as the NHS, through extended hospital stays and complex treatments. Advanced age, prolonged hospital visits, and antibiotic-resistant strains further elevate the risks. Primel® is proud to play a role in addressing this challenge. Our Active Hand Shield is the first of its kind to kill C. diff within 30 seconds, delivering unparalleled residual protection against an extensive range of pathogens. With our innovative Protect on Touch technology, users can actively disinfect surfaces upon contact, helping reduce pathogen transmission and setting new standards in infection prevention. Together, we’re committed to making healthcare environments safer for both patients and staff.
