Verification of the effectiveness of PROLEN MEDICAL antimicrobial treated fabrics in real operating conditions

On the basis of the waveform graph of the detected RLUs from the swabs performed by ATP, it can be concluded that PROLEN MEDICAL fabric with antimicrobial treatment shows a reduction of microbiological factors in real medical conditions and can be recommended on the basis of passive disinfection to reduce the risk of microbiological factors formation.

When deploying passive disinfection with PROLEN MEDICAL antimicrobial-treated fabrics, it is necessary to take into account the contamination process, the environment and the frequency of changes of the fabric in question.
