Hygiene and infection control is of chief importance in medical offices. The elimination of infection risk, whether to patients or health care professionals, is regarded as a priority. It is now well known that infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis, MRSA, C. Difficile and Norovirus can be spread by airborne transmission in addition to physical transportation. Given these facts, it is not surprising that medical industry professionals around the world are continuously seeking new ways of controlling the problem.
Given the apparent limitations of conventional methods of infection control to stem the rise in nosocomial infections, there is a pressing need to develop alternative approaches of control. The problem is compounded by the fact that many of the microorganisms responsible, such as MRSA, are multiple antibiotic resistant. UV-C is highly effective against many pathogenic microorganisms and has the potential for reducing the spread of airborne infections in medical offices.
