Although doctors, nurses and supporting staff in hospitals are well aware of the need to wash their hands as often as possible, they also know that most currently-used disinfecting methods contain alcohol or QATs which are very damaging to their skin. As often as necessary and not more, therefore, remains the norm.
For cleaning staff, meanwhile, disinfecting surfaces using the currently available methods can be extremely time consuming – usually involving having to submerge rolls of nonwoven wipes in disinfection fluids for around 15 minutes before they become effective. This is a very wasteful process too, because the product eventually dries out and can’t be used.
Imeco’s Nocemi-med is a well-considered and highly effective solution to both of these issues, and a deserved winner of an INDEX 14 Innovation Award at EDANA’s Geneva event earlier this year.
