Antimicrobial Silver Additive Gives Ultra Protection to Ultrasonic Medical Equipment

Ultrawave, a UK-based manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, has added SteriTouch® antimicrobial silver additive to its Hygea 2 benchtop ultrasonic model. The intention of the company was to meet specific guidelines for the sterilization of surgical instruments in the dental and primary care settings. The fine particles of the additive powder allow polyethylene casing of the ultrasonic bath mix in a better manner even during the rotational molding process.
Incorporating SteriTouch® into the medical equipment reduced MRSA levels by 99.93% (according to an independent lab testing). Addition of this antimicrobial additive significantly increased protection against black mould and other bacteria. Ultrawave has recently launched an updated model with a white case, replacing the previous grey model.
