Those who work in the food and health market are well aware of the damage that an infection can cause in a customer's life and in the company's image. Cross infection, for example, is a risk inherent to the business, because it is caused by the transfer of microorganisms from one object or person to another. Infection-causing bacteria can exist even in healthy people, hence the risk of contamination.
Among the main organisms responsible for the processes of cross-infection, we have:
- mycobacterium tuberculosis = is the bacterium responsible for the majority of tuberculosis cases.
- pseudomonas aeruginosa = although it almost never causes disease in healthy people, it can wreak havoc on more fragile organisms - not by chance it is one of the main causes of nosocomial infections. It is worth emphasizing that it is a bacterium resistant to many antibiotics and antiseptics, therefore difficult to fight.
- staphylococcus aureus = found on the skin and nasal cavities, can cause pneumonia and meningitis.
Health and esthetic establishments are already accustomed to the procedures for cleaning and dressing of appliances and people, necessary to ensure the safety of customers and professionals. But a resource that is available to any company and not all of them use is plastic film. Did you know that with it you can create a disposable mechanical barrier, protecting surfaces and work instruments in your office or clinic?
Easier than cure is prevention. So take advantage of your Alpfilm to protect:
- reflector handles and switches and machinery;
- instrument hoses;
- table handles where the materials used in the services are;
- photopolymerization and laser equipment;
- appliance cables used in dental treatments.
It is important to remember that only Alpfilm Protect kills 99,96% of the bacteria, forming a true protection shield. Combined with the hygiene procedures of your establishment, it is the perfect ally when it comes to taking care of your customers safely!
