Solutions for infection control

Separator systems
increase safety and
keep processes running

Many of today's diseases, including influenza and the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, are transmitted via droplets and aerosols. The pathogens become airborne mainly through coughing and sneezing, but also through speaking and laughing, and are subsequently inhaled by other people. Transmission can also occur through contaminated surfaces from smear or contact infection.

In addition to compliance with hygiene standards, the installation of protection and partitioning systems is an important component in infection control to contain the spread of pathogens and protect oneself and others from infection. This is especially true in enclosed spaces, in places with many people and wherever there is close contact.

Healthcare

Hotel industry

To prevent the transmission of germs and pathogens, higher hygiene standards apply in many industries. This applies, among others, to healthcare facilities as well as the catering and hotel industries. Hospitals, for example, are obliged to ensure operational and structural compliance with hygiene regulations. This includes functions such as ventilation technology or the provision of hand and surface disinfection equipment. Surfaces that have an antimicrobial effect and inhibit the growth of microorganisms are another efficient way of preventing infections.

ANTISEPTIC room separator

Our ANTISEPTIC room separator is one of these solutions. The room separator was specially developed for infection control. It consists of a plastic material based on silver ions, which ensures pathogens are inactivated. In this way, you protect yourself, staff, patients and guests from droplet infection and transmission by touch – without the need for regular disinfection. The antimicrobial efficacy has been confirmed by independent testing institutes (according to international standards ISO 22196 and ISO 21702).

Events

Infection control is not only of great importance in the health sector, but also any public facilities, railway stations, airports and events where many people come together at the same time. Uncoordinated movement of people could quickly lead to the spread of pathogens in these areas.

Current hygiene standards, such as those defined to protect against coronavirus, therefore not only stipulate strict hygiene and distance rules. They also specify how rooms should be divided up and walkways planned. The first choice in infection control is often one-way systems with separate entrances and exits. But due to structural restrictions or lack of space, this cannot always be arranged and the paths run parallel and too close together. In these cases, solutions for partitioning and subdividing, such as those we have develop, can provide a remedy. Individual room separators can be connected and act as a protective barrier between different walkways. The same applies to room layouts.

Offices

Conference rooms

Open-plan offices, meeting and conference rooms, offices with a lot of people and public traffic as well as small offices share one and the same problem – the vital distance in infection control of at least 1.50 m between individual workplaces and work areas often cannot be maintained. We have the solution that will enable you to go about your work and still be protected from droplet infection: a new type of frameless desk separator in transparent plastic.

Transparent desk separator DeskProtect CLEAR

The DeskProtect CLEAR not only provides the desired sneeze and cough protection on three sides, it also allows you to continue to communicate visibly and directly with colleagues and visitors. The desk separator also complies with the current hygiene standards and specifications of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs’ SARS-CoV-2 occupational health and safety regulations (BMAS - version 20.8.2020). This ensures collaborative work can be achieved with a low risk of infection.

Your advantages in infection control

An essential task of infection control, besides prevention and early detection, is to prevent the further spread of infectious diseases – and to do so as efficiently as possible. This is exactly what we have achieved with the development of our plastic room separator solutions in 2020. The room separators are not just easy and flexible to use: some of them also have an antimicrobial surface that prevents the growth of viruses and bacteria. Their special design and size provide an excellent privacy screen as well as sneeze and cough protection in the respective application areas – and thus protect you from infection.
