Post op surgical site infections result in over 10 billion dollars annually of additional costs to the health care system in the United States. Patience with weakened immune systems are at greater risks of infection and are prescribed stronger anti-biotics to control outbreaks. Bacteria like MRSA become resistant to these drugs and are more difficult to control. More and more, national health care systems are using alternative control methods like SiO2 surface treatments to contain bacterial issues. The NHS in the U.K. have adopted this technology to control surface associated bacteria. By utilizing our technology, no additional toxins are introduced to a sensitive environment, our products control bacterial through a natural molecular process which microbes cannot become resistant to (See Silver Ions vs. Ionic Exchange). For surfaces needing a more sterile environment, our SiO2 antibacterial variants will assist in eliminating microbes within minutes.

Examples of healthcare surface usage:

- surgery room surfaces
- door handles
- washroom appliances
- light switches, elevator buttons
- bed rails and screens
- beside tables
