Ebiox Completes a Distribution Agreement for Livinguard

With a number of key areas now identified as vehicles for cross infection, the objective of Ebiox as a provider of Infection Prevention and Control Products is to offer a product portfolio which will give the tools to combat infection in these identified areas.

It is well publicised that hands, the environment and surgical instruments are factors in Healthcare Acquired Infections for which Ebiox has a focussed range of products targeting these areas.

Studies show that Healthcare Workers clothing, patient attire and soft fabrics such as curtains are also vehicles for cross infection. So to try and break this chain Ebiox is now working with a company Livinguard who manufactures a patented range of medical clothing and items.

With the use of multiple coating applications Ebiox can over a range of clothing which is;

           Anti-microbial for up to 75 washes
           Hydrophobic which prevents penetration of fluids
           Hydrophilic for wearers comfort. This is enhanced by the use of
           high quality non linting Poly/Cotton fabric
           Stain resistent for easy laundering

Livinguard kills micro-organisms by a "mechnical" action rather than chemical. The textile is coated with billions of nano sized polymeric knives, spaced in a way that when bacteria for example hits the textile they are physically pierced, killing them.

Due to this being a mechanical action and not chemical there is no risk of resistance.

The textiles have gone through many tests, and has recently passed the EN13795, the European Standard for Surgical Drapes and Gowns for use in the Operating Theatre.

Ebiox believes this is an excellent addition to their portfolio, meeting their objective of providing products which will help close down many of the avenues of cross infection.

The Case for Non Alcohol Based Hand Rubs and Hand Cream

Hand hygiene products damage the skin by causing denaturation of stratum corneum proteins, changes in intercellular lipids, decreased corneocyte cohesion, and decreased stratum corneum water-binding capacity. 

Among these, the main concern is the depletion of the lipid barrier that may be consequent to contact with lipid-emulsifying detergents and lipid-dissolving alcohols.  Frequent hand-washing leads to progressive depletion of surface lipids with resulting deeper action of detergents into the superficial skin layers. 

Damage to the skin also changes skin flora, resulting in more frequent colonization by staphylococci and Gram-negative bacilli.

Although alcohols are safer than detergents, they can cause dryness and skin irritation. The lipid-dissolving effect of alcohols is inversely related to their concentration, and ethanol tends to be less irritating than n-propanol or isopropanol.

Other antiseptic agents that may cause irritant contact dermatitis, in order of decreasing frequency, include chlorhexidine, chloroxylenol, triclosan, and alcohol-based products. 

Skin that is damaged by repeated exposure to detergents may be more susceptible to irritation by all types of hand antisepsis formulations, including alcohol-based preparations.

So what are the alternatives?
