The media is filled with news and the latest scoop on the spread of new viruses and bacteria than can develop into severe human threats and become pandemics. Some time ago it was SARS which so said the World Health Organization in 2003 had caused thousands of illnesses and near one thousand deaths. The most recent threat comes from the H1N1 virus or swine flu that has already caused several hundred deaths and near one hundred thousand ill. Even being treated in a hospital is cause for concern. Yet, the solution is a strong commencement with the simplest discipline say the Product Group’s personal care product researchers ; proper hand hygiene will prevent transmission of disease. Recent information from the European Center for Disease Prevention, reports that near 5 million patients are estimated to suffer infections in the EU every year. The number of deaths occurring is estimated to be not less than 40,000 and they contribute to another hundred thousand deaths. The result of neglecting hand care ; some 20 million additional hospital days each year costing nearly 6 billion dollars ! “Much of it is avoidable by installing a conveniently located stainless steel locking dispenser with a bucket of our 800 soft hand wipes impregnated with our SN10 solution” says Manuel Garcia the product Group’s communications officer. “In the food industry, these dispensers are finding their way at each passageway to meet the EU’s requirements for employees passing from one room to the other.” He adds. Therefore the most effective infection prevention program is a properly designed and easily distributed readily available hand wipe for hygiene protocols and antibiotic policies. The Product Group is a world leader in the subject. People of all ages are vulnerable to infection and so these innovative and inexpensive products find their way more and more into schools, gyms, public areas, toilets (in lieu of sinks quite often), and work places. “Our hand wipe solution, SN10 is lipo-protective, hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and because of our large production volumes totally inexpensive. There is simply no excuse for exposing such a large sector of particularly vulnerable persons to the health hazards that hand care protocols can address” underlines Garcia. During the last decade the European authorities have, with trade associations and others developed stringent requirements. The skin is the body’s largest organ. It’s size is about 1.8 square meters. The skin also sheds some 300 million particles every day and it takes five weeks to replace them. In addition we are carrying 100 trillion microbes on us, most of them unknown. Any damage to this surface is an opportunity for infection. As noted above, a proper hand care protocol using this Product Groups hand wipe collection need not be costly. When budgets are shrinking and costs are escalating everywhere, the need for a more global view on supply chain issues remains. The cost of fighting super bugs and other contaminants is an increasingly important share of any personnel and health care budget. Organizations everywhere are searching for effective methods at low costs – witness this Product Groups spectacular growth as a global player. Key to a viable solution is proactive avoidance of infection, not treatment. Simply said, there is a dramatic need to reduce / eliminate infection. Here this Product Group’s hand wipe solutions can fully comply with global standards, provide users with a safe and effective manner for protection and not least – keep their hands clean. As the Group’s slogan says : “It Simply Works.”
