Cleaning solution to fight hospital superbugs

New from MAS Medical is Virusolve+, a biocidal cleaning solution that the manufacturer claims will aid NHS Trusts in combating healthcare acquired infections.

The solution penetrates and destroys the target cell’s ribonucleic acid (RNA), rendering it unable to reproduce and preventing its ability to spread.

Virusolve+ is also capable of killing other infections such as hepatitis B and C and avian flu and is clinically proven to destroy almost all microbials in both clean and dirty conditions.

Virusolve+ is non-hazardous at operational dilutions and will not cause skin irritation. MAS Medical claims that Virusolve+ is well suited to a working healthcare environment as it does not require prior surface cleaning. It can also be used as a non-rinse disinfectant on walls, floors, ceilings and fittings, as a pre-cleaner for medical and surgical instruments, and as a cleaner for body fluid spillages.

John Coe, director at MAS Medical, said: “Hospital infections cannot be ignored; they cost lives and the NHS approximately £1 billion annually. Virusolve+ is highly effective in destroying superbugs – effective at room temperature in less than a minute and safe for staff to use; it is a practical way of tackling cross infection.”
