Effective Against MRSA
Antimicrobrial action also effective against MRSA: TroBloc® M prevents microbes like bacteria and fungi, which are present on the surface, from continuing to multiply. To achieve this antimicrobial effect, TroBloc® M uses modern silver ion technology. The additive, which is non-toxic to humans, acts in a purely physical manner - through the transfer of silver ions - to prevent the growth of microbes. This action inhibits the reproduction of strains of bacteria. The bactericidal action takes effect in very little time, as has been proved and certified by the Swiss company, Ciba Spezialitätenchemie AG in Basle. Its reliable effectiveness with respect to MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) has also been proven in laboratory tests at Ciba.
Preventing Infection
Successful measures for the prevention of infections are of importance to clinics and hospitals, from both a medical and a financial point of view. Infections can result in patients having to be hospitalised for longer. As treatments in many European countries are charged on a flat rate per case basis, additional days of hospitalisation can result in costs that are no longer covered by the flat rate charge and cannot be charged by the hospital. TroBloc® M helps to prevent infection thanks to its antimicrobial action.
Shorter Cleaning Time
TroBloc® M has an easy-clean effect which allows even large surface areas to be cleaned quickly. The surface has a nanoscale microstructure which produces a low surface tension of <18 mN/m. This ensures that the contact area for particles and fluids is reduced to an exceptional degree. In addition, TroBloc® M is superhydrophobic: fluid runs off immediately, taking adherent substances and particles with it, due to the specially designed surface.
Long service life
The surface of ® M is resistant to chemicals and extremely scratch-resistant. It can withstand regular contact with standard disinfectants and cleaning agents in the long term. This means that the TroBloc® M function is retained even after frequent cleaning.
Central military hospital in Koblenz renovates ten operating theaters
Koblenz - The central military hospital (Bundeswehr-Zentralkrankenhaus) in Koblenz, the largest hospital of the Bundeswehr in Germany, is investing in hygiene and renovating ten operating theatres: The prestigious hospital is replacing the previous wall tiles with the antimicrobial wall covering TroBloc® M from Röchling. The covering, specifically developed for medical facilities, has met the strict testing criteria of the hospital. Its antimicrobial surface limits the spread of germs such as MRSA and has a special Easy-to-Clean effect.
