Current concern about the clostridium difficile infection in the hospital environment highlights the importance of having effective cleaning and sterilisation products available for immediate use
Tristel's new Duo wipes system offers convenient, highly effective bactericidal, fungicidal and sporicidal cleaning for use on all general hospital hard surfaces and non-invasive medical devices.
It is effective against a wide range of organisms including clostridium difficile, says the company.
Effective, convenient, and easy to use, Tristel Duo is designed to provide a readily available means of rapid decontamination and is active against organisms including MRSA, clostridium difficile, bacillus subtilis, mycobacterium tuberculosis, acinetobacter baumanii and norovirus.
It has applications in diverse areas, including for work surfaces, dressing trolleys, beds and mattress covers, instrument tables, monitor cases, control panels and keyboards.
The time required to kill all the organisms that Tristel Duo comes into contact with is just 30 seconds.
Tristel Duo is a two part system.
It comprises the Duo bactericidal and virucidal wipe, which can be boosted by the application of the Tristel Duo sporicidal foam.
This delivers chlorine dioxide directly to the surface, as and when required.
For full effectiveness, chlorine dioxide must be generated immediately before use from two chemical components.
Tristel has achieved this using the Duo foamer, a novel two-compartment dispenser.
Base and activator solutions are held in separate compartments of the Duo foamer and are mixed only when the pump is depressed.
Two jets of foam are dispensed to the surface where they are mixed and dispersed with the Duo wipe.
