In todays busy environments, Medical institutions are in a continual fight to keep down contamination and cross infection rates of patients particularly in regards to MRSA and C. Difficile. The implementation of a variety of infection control programs have significantly brought down these rates in recent times, however infections do still occur and new ways to address this are continually being sought.

One possible area where cross infections can occur is when equipment is transferred from patient to patient and moved around the hospital. Active cleaning regemes should negate this, but what if the equipment could also be coated in a substance that passively kills these bacteria 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?

BioCloak is the new product from MGE that does exactly that.

HOW DOES IT WORK ?

When Ultraviolet light strikes the TiO2 particles in the coating they are activated and start to emit electrons. This in turn causes nearby Water to be broken down into highly reactive hydroxyl radicals and super Oxides.

It is these free radicals that create a powerful oxidising reaction which breaks down organic compounds, including bacteria, viruses, moulds and odours, into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) which then evaporate from the
treated surface.

And as such, it also has a "self cleaning" effect that repels dirt and water on hard surfaces.

The coating starts to work immediately it is exposed to a source of UV light (e.g. Sunlight) and it continues to work 24 hours a day . 7 days a week, 365 days a year, as long as there is light to power it.

Provides Anti-Bacterial Protection 24x7x365

Self Cleaning

Activated by Natural Light (UV)

Lasts for 5 Years

Scratches do not reduce the efficiency of the coating

Can be applied to all MGE equipment

WHAT IS IT?

Based on Nano technology, BioCloak is a new
anti-bacterial coating that can be applied to
equipment to give added protection against
bacteria, spores, viruses as well as against general organic impurities and dirt.

In particular, BioCloak deals with MRSA, C.Difficille, E. Coli, SARS, Listeria, Salmonella and bacterial spores. Surfaces that have been treated with BioCloak will stop contaminants from growing and quickly reduce what is there.

Laboratory Tests have shown that colonies of
bacteria were reduced in numbers by 99.9% when exposed to a coated surface in a 24 hour period.

WHAT CAN BE COATED ?

All MGE equipment can be coated in BioCloak to provide additional protection against cross infection. This includes our pipeline regulators, electric suction units, portable suction units, trolley systems and even general accessories if required.
