»Protection against bacteria, viruses and fungi.

In the manufacture of hospital bed castors, a long-term effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi and algae is achieved by adding antimicrobial substances to the base material.

Small amounts of these metallo-organic substances are able to destroy a large number of germs due to their high activity.




Products with antimicrobial treatment are already successfully in use in a variety of areas, such as households, cooling systems, in building materials and in the food industry.




Advantages of using TENTE central-locking castors on medical devices are as follows:
– Reduction of germ transmission and hospital-acquired infections
– Prevention of bacterial resistance
– Provide natural prophylaxes
– Support health

Example:
Effect on E.coli bacteria without antimicrobial additive.
