Surfex® is the world's first dry surface biofilm remover and surface disinfectant with proven scientific data.
Recent ground-breaking research has discovered that biofilms are proliferate on dry surfaces as well as the previously known wet surfaces. They can be found on most surfaces within a healthcare setting including curtains, bed rails, chairs, phones and patient charts and could contribute significantly to Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI's).
Multiple internationally peer reviewed studies support these findings and also highlight the low efficacy of chlorine in removing biofilms.
Key benefits of Surfex® include:
Surfex® is intended for use on environmental surfaces and for non-critical medical devices such as hospital beds and theatre trolleys. Surfex’s unique formula of buffered peracetic acid and surfactants ensure it will provide maximum disinfectant efficacy critical for healthcare environments. Surfex® is proven to kill Clostridium difficile (and spores)*, Norovirus, Parvovirus and VRE.
Surfex® has excellent materials compatibility especially when compared with Chlorine/Bleach. Surfex® is available in 8.5g sachets for dilution in 500mL bottles and 85g sachets for dilution in bucket.
Whiteley Corporation has collaborated with multiple universities over the years to advance knowledge and understanding of biofilms and how best to remove them. One of the most recent papers published as a result of this collaboration was – "The effect of disinfectant formulation and organic soil on the efficacy of oxidising disinfectants against biofilms"
