The hospital environment is a hub for a variety of pathogens.
Above all, pathogens that are introduced extraneously give rise to new contamination pathways. Bacteria that have already become resistant to antibiotics are particularly dangerous. In this case, an infection is very difficult to treat or, in the worst case, no longer treatable at all.
When it comes to medical facilities, pathogens spread through a variety of contact situations between visitors, patients, and staff, or through the surfaces and objects they contaminate.
Water and Point-of-Use fixtures are considered to be a significant source of hazard as far as pathogens are concerned. Contaminated aerators cannot be disinfected and thus may contribute significantly to the spread of pathogens. Infection prevention filters form a protective barrier against bacteria from the water. Extraneous contamination is removed by the multifunctional plastic.
A multi-barrier system of Point-of-Use water filters, reliable hand hygiene and thorough surface disinfection effectively breaks through chains of infection.
