Our patented technology provides a fast, safe and efficient method for disinfecting medical tubing – even during use.
Biofilm can be formed on the inner surfaces of medical tubing within 24 hours.
It provides a perfect breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms and is very difficult to eradicate in places where traditional disinfectants cannot be used, such as venous catheters or endotracheal tubes in use.
In the US, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) accounts for about 1.7 millions infections and 100,000 deaths each year.
Disinfection of the inner surface of catheters and endotracheal tubes during use
Kills all types of bacteria
No light exposure to the patient (medical tubes are non-transparent in UV-C spectral region)
Our patented technology facilitates disinfection of the inner surfaces of Catheters and endotracheal tubes while these are in use.
UVC light has been used for more than 100 years for disinfection of drinking water. UVC disinfection is a physical process where the UVC light modify/destroys the DNA of microbial cells such that cell multiplication is prohibited.
Kills all types of bacteria - Broad spectrum efficacy kills all types of bacteria and virus including antibiotic resistant pathogens and disinfection of formed biofilm with the use of a higher UVC dose.
UVC – disinfection works both in air and saline solutions and is effective against all types of bacteria and fungi – including drug-resistant bacteria.
Our patented light delivery system ensures that the patient is not exposed to UVC-light - even during in-use application.
Shielded exposure of UV light. No light exposure to patient tissue and staff.
Well-known kill mechanism used for disinfection in more than 100 years. No development of resistant pathogens.
UV Clinical has developed a unique technology, which can disinfect (4 – log reduction) inner surfaces of indwelling medical tubing such as catheters and endotracheal tubes. The technology is based on UVC-LED light. UVC light kills all kinds of microorganisms such as bacteria, vira and fungi. The technology does not use anti-microbial substances and disinfectants, and there is no development of multi-resistant organisms. In near future much more powerful UVC LEDs are available which allows killing of established biofilm.
Our disinfection device is based on emerging UVC LED (Ultraviolet-C light – Light Emitting Diodes) technology and a patented light guide used to transmit and distribute the UVC in the lumen of medical tubes such as catheters and endotracheal tubes.
