We are pleased to be supporting the care home community at the forthcoming Dementia, Care & Nursing Home Expo at the NEC on 15/16 September. This major UK event showcases the technology, products, and content that help care homes to implement high-quality person-centred care models.
Protecting vulnerable residents and patients from infections is always important. Many illnesses are spread by direct personal contact or by touching a surface that has been contaminated by an infected person. A pathogen can enter our bodies when we touch our eyes, nose, or mouth with contaminated hands. Regular hand washing and surface disinfection are therefore critical to breaking the chain of infection.
Businesses and individuals charged with the care of vulnerable residents and patients need simple and effective infection prevention products. Diversey’s “360” or total-solutions approach offers traditional products alongside innovations in an unrivalled range. This provides healthcare professionals with total flexibility to choose the most suitable hand and surface disinfection solutions for their specific requirements. We are highlighting two of our latest and most exciting infection prevention innovations at the NEC:
IntelliCare: an integrated hand disinfection system designed to maximise product availability and make it easy for care home staff, residents, and visitors to disinfect their hands whenever required. The system includes an advanced contactless dispenser and complete range of interchangeable hand disinfectants, soaps, gels, and foams meeting all major infection prevention standards. The dispenser operates contact-free to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between users but switches automatically to manual operation if its batteries become discharged. Its dual-dosing capability allows operators to select the amount to dispense depending on application and user.
Oxivir: a complete range of cleaner-disinfectants, disinfectants and wipes containing patented AHP – Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide. Oxivir products have proven broad-spectrum performance against viruses, spores, yeasts, and fungi. including C. diff, MRSA, Norovirus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Products in the range kill viruses in just 30 seconds in dirty conditions. Their efficacy has been tested to the latest EN standards, including EN14476 which covers enveloped viruses like the one that causes Covid-19. Oxivir products can be used safely on a wide range of surfaces without many of the drawbacks of traditional disinfectants. The active ingredient degrades to water and oxygen shortly after use, enhancing the sustainability of the product.
IntelliCare and the Oxivir range combine with other innovations and proven traditional products to create an unrivalled range that covers all aspects of infection prevention and facility hygiene. Our aim is to provide care professionals with total flexibility to implement – with our help and support - the right products and combinations for their unique and specific requirements.
