Infection control,
why is it failing?

Following the devastating impact of Covid-19, much has been done to reduce the infection-risk in our environments. But sadly, it is often the case that these rudimentary methods are not enough to fight infection rates due to their inability to recognise and combat the true scope of airborne pathogens and surface settlement.

Cross contamination of airborne viruses and diseases can be up to 19 times more likely indoors than outside.⁽¹⁾ Up to 40 000 pathogenic droplets can be released into the air from a single sneeze⁽²⁾ and studies suggest that these droplets can remain viable in the air up to 16 hours.⁽³⁾ We here at Hygene Technologies believe the common practices we currently focus on for infection control are not enough to protect us from dangers such as COVID-19.

ↆDETECTↆ
We distribute preventative controls and detections systems from EIT International with their BACTISCAN™ device, designed to illuminate both alive and dead protein capsids of the bacteria on surfaces.

ↆCLEANↆ
Further protecting the safety in our environments, we also distribute HYPOAFRICA™ technology: patented systems that produce Hypochlorous Acid, a non-toxic, yet powerful compound that serves as a highly effective disinfectant by killing pathogens through oxidation and chlorination.

ↆREGULATEↆ
Prior to now, clean air technology was often overlooked and so we provide powerful VIRUSKILLER™ technology that decontaminates 99.999% of viruses in a single air pass and eradicates surface settlement due to it’s controlled, continuous airflow that further regulates indoor air quality.
