Enhancing Infection Control and Facility Maintenance: The 2025 approach to Impact Protection Solutions
With healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) still posing a significant challenge, NHS Trusts continue to prioritise innovative solutions that enhance infection control while ensuring cost-effective maintenance. As healthcare facilities evolve, modern solutions like antibacterial impact protection sheet have become indispensable in improving safety, hygiene, and durability in high-traffic areas.
The Role of Impact Protection in Infection Control
Healthcare environments demand stringent hygiene measures. While handrails and taps often receive attention, surfaces like walls and doors are equally critical. These areas, frequently touched by patients, visitors, and staff, can harbour harmful bacteria. Advanced antibacterial wall and door protection solutions can now inhibit up to 99% of harmful microbes such as C. difficile, MRSA, Salmonella, and E. coli, offering a proactive approach to infection control.
Innovations in Impact Protection
Modern antibacterial impact protection sheet, enhanced with advanced biocidal technology such as Hygienilac®, prevent bacterial growth by disrupting the microbes’ ability to access nutrients. These solutions are embedded throughout the sheet material, ensuring that even if the surface is scratched, the antimicrobial properties remain effective. Designed for durability, these sheets boast UV stability and resistance to water solubility, maintaining efficacy for years. Compliance with fire safety standards, such as BS476 Parts 6 and 7, further underscores their suitability for healthcare settings.
