Sealed Air’s Diversey Care division has announced it has acquired the UVC disinfection portfolio of Daylight Medical - a manufacturer of innovative medical devices.
The portfolio acquired includes UVC disinfectant technologies designed to disinfect rooms, surfaces, non-critical equipment and devices. Daylight’s solutions are noted for their innovative, portable and affordable design, allowing safe and targeted dosing of UVC light to quickly and effectively kill harmful pathogens, including bacteria and C. difficile. The agreement also gives Diversey Care access to a robust innovation pipeline.
“When combined with consistent and proper manual cleaning and disinfection, UVC disinfection technology has the power to reduce the spread of pathogens that can cause dangerous infections,” said Dr Ilham Kadri, president, Diversey Care. “Daylight’s innovations are a synergistic fit with our existing infection prevention platform.”
Daylight Medical owner Peter Botten added: “Daylight’s easy-to-use technologies allow for highly effective disinfection at the lowest overall cost, enabling facilities to incorporate these devices into daily cleaning and disinfection protocols with minimal training. We’re thrilled that this technology will be incorporated into Diversey’s portfolio of infection prevention solutions because we recognise that partnering with an infection prevention leader can provide the mechanism to bring this valuable technology to facilities across the world.”
