The “germ-shield” advantage<br />
Did you know <strong>the</strong>re are over 2,000,000 nosocomial bacteria<br />
infections in U.S. hospitals every year? And 100,000 of those<br />
people infected result in de<strong>at</strong>hs, costing <strong>the</strong> U.S. health system<br />
more than US$11b per annum.<br />
Not only are <strong>the</strong>se fi gures alarming, but <strong>the</strong>se types of avoidable<br />
infections put a gre<strong>at</strong> burden on our economy and health<br />
system. Fortun<strong>at</strong>ely <strong>the</strong>re is now a solution to this problem called<br />
“germ-shield” – a revolutionary anti-microbial co<strong>at</strong>ing system.<br />
The major diff erences between “germ-shield” and conventional<br />
microbial co<strong>at</strong>ings are th<strong>at</strong> “germ-shield” technology:<br />
• Is not absorbed or consumed by <strong>the</strong> microbe, which in<br />
turn allows for <strong>the</strong> tre<strong>at</strong>ment to remain <strong>at</strong> full-strength for<br />
essentially <strong>the</strong> life of <strong>the</strong> surface or product<br />
The Medilec range of MSPs and medical electrical accessories<br />
available <strong>with</strong> “germ-shield” includes:<br />

• Is a bound anti-microbial, which means th<strong>at</strong> it molecularly<br />
bonds to <strong>the</strong> surface. This bond does not allow any leaching<br />
of tre<strong>at</strong>ment onto o<strong>the</strong>r surfaces and does not allow for <strong>the</strong><br />
development of adaptive organisms<br />
• Will not vol<strong>at</strong>ilise (off -gas)<br />
• Has a 30-year history of durability, eff ectiveness and safety.<br />
Total protection <strong>with</strong> Medilec<br />
Medilec now off ers a range of medical service panels (MSPs)<br />
and medical electrical accessories th<strong>at</strong> come <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> option of<br />
“germ-shield”. “Germ-shield” is completely non-toxic to humans<br />
and <strong>the</strong> environment, and protects against over 650 species of<br />
bacteria, which are commonly found in hospital environments.<br />
