Because it does not dissipate, it retains its f ull antimicrobial strength for the life of the surface to which it is applied. It controls micro-organisms, slows the degradation of products, and reduces odors and stains. The healthcare industry is challenged with providing the best possible care for their patients and a safe environment for health care workers. Micro-organisms are the most prevalent and potent pollutants in the indoor environment and their role as causers and aggravators of disease conditions are well documented. Healthcare facilities, by the very nature of their operation, expose patients and staff to microbial contamination that can lead to infectious disease. Stethoscopes, flooring, doorknobs, curtains, cabinets and the "forgotten" surfaces can potentially transfer contaminating organisms from surface to surface and person to person. Healthcare associated infections occur to approximately one in ten patients resulting in higher treatment costs and increased potential for litigation. Healthcare associated infections (HAI) is among the top ten causes of death in the United States. HAI is estimated to result in as many as 98,000 deaths each year at an annual cost of up to $29 billion.

Biocides are strictly regulated in the US and registered with the registered with the EPA. Misuse of a biocide is illegal. *Clinical isolates
	MICROBECARE ™ Reduces odor, staining, and product damage, Imparts true broad spectrum antimicrobial activity (same Mode of Action, regardless of type of bacteria or fungus) A permanently bonded antimicrobial barrier The antimicrobial active does not leach, without any of the drawbacks most antimicrobial technologies have The treatment does not lead to the development of antimicrobial resistant microbes (AKA Super-Bugs) The treatment does not affect humans. The treatment has no effect on the surrounding environment THE END RESULT Microbes are eliminated without using up any of the antimicrobial active--the MicrobeCare™ remains protecting the treated goods against further microbial contamination
