Controlling Infection with ProVap Steam Sanitising

Top 4 reasons why you should use dry-steam cleaning!

• Instantly clean and dry surfaces, saving costly time without leaving any unhygienic residue.
• Improved bactericidal efficacy, proven against SuperBugs.
• Environmentally friendly, reduced chemical usage and low water usage.
• User friendly, easy to use, ergonomically healthy.

Developed only after thorough evidence-based microbiological research and laboratory evaluation, this ProVap range is the first and only such system in the world to provide a steam-based cleaning and contamination system that is outcome assured.

A new generation of advanced dry steam cleaning, ProVap offers increased effectiveness, improved hygiene in use, and even self-disinfecting capabilities. We are all aware of the problems with infection control in hospital wards and care homes, compounded perhaps with an over-reliance upon ineffciently applied cleaning chemicals - to which bacteria could potentially become increasingly resistant.

ProVap is effective against MRSA, Acinetobacter, VRE, Klebsiella, Enterococcus faecalis and Clostridium difficile spores. ProVap technology is ideally suited for decontamination of high-risk, high-contact hospital surfaces, such as bed frames, mattresses and chairs.

Tests conducted by the Hospital Infection Protection Environmental Research (HIPER) confirm that the ProVap process, without the use of any chemicals, successfully decontaminated all of the surface types purposely contaminated with a heavy microbiological burden of test organisms.

Another consideration is that chemical wipes may not be able to effectively clean and sanitise every surface in a ward, washroom or kitchen where bacteria may harbour and grow.

ProVap is a fully integrated steam cleaning system using new tools and accessories conceived, tried, tested and developed in co-operation with the healthcare industry. Steam penetrates where chemical impregnated wipes cannot, so that equipment does not need to be dismantled, curtains not taken down - beds can be returned to full use in the fastest time possible.

ProVap relies on the physical action of steam heated to between 150°C and 180°C to destroy the water-based biofilm that the bacteria must inhabit to survive and grow. Nothing less than the complete physical destruction of the bacteria can be an effective remedy to the disastrous situation that now prevails within the healthcare environment. Beyond doubt, steam sanitising helps prevent cross infection in hospitals, doctor's surgeries, nursing homes and children's nurseries.

ProVap systems are kind to patients with respiratory problems thanks to the built-in water filters, ensuring that is it not possible for dust mites, pollen, or other allergens to be exhausted back into the air.
