Leading authorities recommend nasal decolonization (WHO/ HRET/SHEA/CDC)
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the most significant problems that can occur.
Numerous studies have confirmed that decolonizing the nose prior to surgery or upon admission to the ICU reduces the infection rate by more than 40%.
However, compliance issues and antimicrobial resistance associated with antibiotics have prevented universal application to all patients.
Protocol difference. Two-step system
The current protocol is very difficult to comply with, involves great logistics and a lot of time invested prior to surgery.
With nasal disinfection we eliminate the complexity of the previous protocol and increase its effectiveness.
Fast treatment in 5 min.
-
APPLY
With pre-soaked swabs, the nostrils are gently coated with Steriwave photosensitizing formula that specifically binds to pathogens.
-
LIGHT UP
Light at a specific wavelength is used to activate the Steriwave photosensitizer in the nose.
-
DESTROY
This reaction physically destroys microbes without harming human cells. Pathogens cannot adapt, thus eliminating the possibility of antimicrobial resistance.
