Are your files a carrier for MRSA ? … Why take the risk ?

Many research studies prove that the hospital environment can act as a reservoir for potentially pathogenic bacteria. Notes and charts raise a particular problem because they are difficult to clean by conventional methods, yet can often be handled by many different people.

Docugard® papers incorporate the Biocote® active silver agent, proven to be safe and effective against the growth of micro-organisms such as MRSA. Research by Dietze et al. proved that MRSA could survive for over 38 weeks on paper samples.

Anti-Microbial Paper / MRSA Protected PaperDocugard® papers provide a very high degree of infection control by inhibiting microbial growth and helping to minimise the risk of cross-contamination by peoples' hands. BioCote® protection is now increasingly being accepted as part of HACCP due diligence and health and safety system procedures in conjunction with existing hygiene practices.

The inclusion of the BioCote® agent within the paper is a low-cost but highly effective means to provide an extra level of protection in the continuing fight against superbugs.
