Hygiene and Disinfection
Dental staff and patients are continually exposed to a wide range of pathogenic micro- organisms – including bacteria, viruses and yeast. It is therefore vitally important to ensure a complete infection control range is utilised to minimise this ever-present threat within the dental surgery. It is equally as crucial that the products are efficacious against a broad spectrum of pathogens, tested to the latest microbiological standards and are effective in a quick but practical contact time for a given application. The Bossklein infection control range excels in each of these areas to provide the user and patient with complete peace of mind.
Bacteria It is essential that Bacteria is removed, due to their ability to rapidly reproduce through cell division. For example, under favourable conditions E.Coli can divide every 20 minutes – which means one bacterium can generate 1,048,576 bacteria in just 6 hours. The Bossklein infection control products are effective against a wide range of bacteria in a matter of minutes. This includes gram positive, gram negative and antibiotic resistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E.Coli, MRSA and VRE*.
Viruses Bossklein infection control products are effective against viruses transmitted by blood (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV) also viruses transmitted by direct or indirect contact such as Coronavirus or Influenza virus*. Viruses spread easily in high traffic areas, clinical areas and where the likelihood of contact with blood is high. Unlike bacteria – viruses rely upon living cells to replicate their viral material surviving for long periods of time. For example Hepatitis C can exist on surfaces for several weeks.
Yeast All Bossklein infection control products have been proven to be yeasticidal and tested for effectiveness specifically against Candida albicans. This should give both patients and staff complete confidence in all round infection control by Bossklein. Yeasts can lead to serious infections especially for those with comprised immune systems.
Most regions around the world require disinfectants to be effective against yeast.
