In 2007 (the last full year of statistics available) the numbers dying in England and Wales from C-difficile were 8,324, and from MRSA were 1,593.
Even though there has been a significant reduction since, those involved in infection control will be constantly looking at new initiatives to improve HCAI figures in your organisation, whether in procedures or products.
Lancer is a market-leading supplier of washer disinfectors for endoscopes and surgical instruments to hospitals throughout UK as well as laboratory glassware washer dryers for research and analytical organisations such as Cancer Research, MRC and major pharma companies. Not only do we have highly effective equipment, but to use these products to optimum effect we also provide a range of machine specific detergents and disinfectants. As part of the Getinge group we have the support and resources of the leading global company in infection control.
So we know about detergents and disinfectants! Building on this extensive knowledge of cross-infection problems and applications, we are expanding our range to include other sterilising and disinfecting products such as wipes, sprays and bulk cleaning liquids. One example is our Suprox wipes, which are non-alcohol and non-chlorine based and also available as a convenient spray which can be used on a variety of surfaces.
