NHS Trial: Detergent Wipes vs Enduro Hygiene Wipes
A recent NHS trial in the UK showed remarkable results is favour of Enduro Hygiene Wipes, with up to 98% elimination of bacterial growth on patients' hands after use and recommendations!
The trial compared the effectiveness of Enduro Hygiene Wipes in reducing bacterial loading (on patients hands before eating) against traditionally used Hand Detergent Wipes and the results were overwhelming, in favour of Enduro Hygiene Wipes!
The report found:
"The complete elimination of bacterial growth was detected in those areas utilising the Enduro Wipe"(see page 12)
Across the trial as a whole:
"Enduro Wipes achieved an 87% eradication rate (of bacterial growth) compared with 13% for the detergent wipes" (see page 12)
The report also recommended that the use of detergent wipes should be restricted or removed from patient care areas in favour of Enduro Hygiene Wipes.
