Skin Antisepsis

Nosocomial infections are among the most frequent complications of medical treatments. The increasing resistance development hampers antibiotic therapies, increases morbidity and mortality and causes additional costs.

In contrast to exogenous nosocomial infections endogenous infections are caused by the patient’s own germ flora. The endogenous skin flora is the main source of infection. To prevent nosocomial infections a proper skin care is essential. Furthermore, recent studies show that decontaminating whole-body washing, whether preventive in ICUs or before surgery, can significantly contribute to the reduction of infection rates.

Together with a comprehensive skin disinfection prior to invasive procedures schülke offers a holistic bundle of products for infection prevention

Surface and equipment

Clean surfaces. Clean work.

In medical facilities, the daily and thorough disinfection of surfaces is a must – especially in critical and sensitive areas.

Pure protection for every surface.

The disinfection of critical areas represents a daily and decisive challenge in the routine of medical facilities. According to new medical findings, the thorough disinfection of surfaces within facilities is a major factor in the containment of so-called nosocomial infections. Our products are developed with their area of usage in mind and their effectiveness is extensively tested. From the early stages of development, the selection of materials and active ingredients is focused upon creating a safe and user-friendly product. These properties have made schülke surface products trusted partners within various areas of usage in daily clinical practice.
