NEW INNOVATION SET TO REVOLUTIONISE
HOSPITAL INSTRUMENT STERILISATION
PeraSafe
is an innovative, safe and significantly more rapid and
effective alternative to glutaraldehyde for cold steralisation
of medical instruments.
PeraSafe is the firstnb
major development for years in instrument sterilisation
and will revolutioise hospital procedures.
Steralisation of instruments, such as flexible labile
endoscopes that cannot be heat sterilised, is currently
carried out using 2% solution of activated glutaraldehyde.
In the asence of any viable alternative for sterilisation
instruments, this has been the practise for thirty years.,
resulting in serious detrimental effects on the health
of nurses and theatre staff, causing such health problems
as asthma, dermatitis, conjuctivitis, sinusitis and
allergic rhinitis. Nurses affected by these complaints
have successfully taken action against their employers
and in situations where the level of fumes from glutaraldehyde
has exceeded the legal limit, operating theatres have
been closed down.
PeraSafe is a unique powder
system that is cost effective and meets all the medical
criteria required of an instrument sterilsnt/disinfectant.
These properties include:
- extremely rapid action
- a total biocidal spectrum
- safe and non-toxic to users
- non-corrosive
- does not 'fix' proteins
- environmentally friendly
- sterilises in 10 minutes
- disinfects in 5 minutes
- 100% bio-degradable, no special disposal procedures.

PeraSafe
has a proven safety profile for end-users with none of
the undesirable properties of skin sensitisation, toxic
fumes or unpleasant odours that are associated with aldehyde
solutions.
The product's safety profile means that tens of thousands
of pounds can be saved by not having to install special
extraction and monitering equipment and not having to
use protective masks and clothing.
Leading UK and USA microbologists have proven PeraSafe
to be active against viruses, mycobacteria and fungi.
It is microbiologically superior to glutaraldehyde,
destroying sporing bacteria in one minute. It has also
been independently proven that PeraSafe
sterilises in just 10 minutes, unlike the ten hours
for sterilisation which the manufacturers recommend
for 2% activated glutaraldehyde.
Additionally, PeraSafe
incorporates a sophisticated corrosion inhibitionb systems
making it non-damaging to instruments.
