BioCote Ltd is leading the way in building a sound evidence-base
to support silver ion technology.
Antimicrobial products must be as effective in-situ as they are in laboratory tests. As experts in their field, BioCote Ltd. are leading the way in undertaking evidence-based studies to demonstrate how BioCote® protected products can reduce levels of bacterial contamination in real-life environments.
Trials have already taken place within a hospital, care home and at a food manufacturing site, showing significant reductions in bacteria on BioCote® protected products compared to standard, comparable products.
BioCote Ltd has had clinical papers peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Infection Prevention* and the British Journal of Community Nursing**, showing how BioCote® reduced levels of bacterial contamination on surfaces by an average of 95% in real-life care settings.
