Hygienic access panels

The BioCote treatment is incorporated into the moulding process when producing the major constituents of the access panels, including the visible areas of frames and doors. The protection provided is long-term and deals with the problem of health-threatening microorganisms that can be encountered within clinical environments. Exitile understands the importance of cleaning as an immediate action to eliminate bacteria. However if cleaning programmes fail or areas are neglected then surfaces can become susceptible to bacteria build up. Outlined in the NHS Estates Cleaning Manual are cleaning methods, but access panels are not specified for a cleaning programme, which reinforces the need for a second line of defence to inhibit bacterial growth.
