Medipal, the Midlands-based brand of UK manufactured infection prevention products specialising in cleaning and disinfectant wipes will be exhibiting at the Infection Prevention Society (IPS) conference in Manchester Central 18th-20th September on Stand 10.
A key event for professionals and decision-makers involved in infection prevention and control in the UK, this year’s conference is the largest of its kind and marks the tenth anniversary of the IPS.
At the conference Medipal will be presenting their entire range of healthcare cleaning and disinfecting wipes which are now available through the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue. The recent success of the NHS Supply Chain tender has enabled Medipal to offer their 3in1 Disinfectant Wipes, Chlorine Disinfectant Wipes, Alcohol Disinfectant Wipes, Detergent Wipes, Single Sachet Wipes, and Indicator Notes and Tape to all areas of the NHS ordering through Supply Chain.
At a time when the NHS is facing a changing future, Medipal have been keen to lead the market of single-use wipes and the development of new test methods that enable simpler and more accurate purchasing decisions. The Medipal brand, has been actively campaigning to raise awareness of the first real-world, European test for chemical disinfectant wipes, EN16615. The objective of the EN 16615 is to test the actual wipes efficacy rather than the extracted solution used in the wipe as per previous test methods. This gives a better representation of the wipes in use by using a mechanical wiping motion with a constant measured pressure on the surface. It ensures there is no cross contamination caused by the wipes and confirms the compatibility between the active ingredients in the solution and the wipe material.
Responding to healthcare market demand for a robust single-use product, the company has applied its technical expertise, as well as an understanding of the strict regulations surrounding the use of disinfectant chemicals in their wipes to create the Medipal 3in1 Disinfectant Wipes. This product range can be used for cleaning and disinfecting as well as offering sporicidal efficacy whilst remaining alcohol and PHMB free.
Do not hesitate to visit Medipal on Stand 10, just inside the main doors to find out more about their full range of cleaning and disinfection wipes available through the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue. There will be experts available to talk to across all three days of the conference.
