Antimicrobial and Antibacterial Door Handles for Business

Antibacterial door handles and covers for infection control anywhere

Wilson Washroom Services supplies and installs a range of Antimicrobial and Antibacterial Door Handles for your business or organisation in the North East.

The antimicrobial product range includes Push Pad, Push Plate Pad, Door Handle Wrap, Pull Handle Wrap and Steel Plate, all with coronavirus resistance.

These products help reduce the spread of dangerous pathogens to create safer, cleaner environments and are used by major national and international companies and organisations, including the NHS.

They reduce growth of up to 99.99% of common bacteria including Klebsiella pneumoniae, E.coli, Staphylococcus and coronaviruses. These products are made in the UK and tested in accordance with BS ISO 22196 and BS ISO 21702:2019.

How antimicrobial door handles protect your business

Frequently-touched surfaces like door handles are at risk of unavoidable cross-contamination, especially considering that some viruses can live on surfaces for up to nine days.

All these products contain silver-based antimicrobial technology and provide 24/7 protection from germs to help reduce the spread of dangerous pathogens and create a safer, cleaner environment.

The antimicrobial technology fights off micro organisms by breaking down their biological make-up which stops the reproduction and spread of harmful pathogens.

All these protective products feature 3M self adhesive backing which makes installation quick, safe and secure.

COVID-19 Omicron strain survives longer on plastic and skin than previous variants

According to the latest study, as reported by Reuters – the Omicron COVID-19 variant can remain alive on your skin for almost a day and more than 8 days on plastic surfaces. This is the reason why it might be classed as ‘highly infectious’.

Japanese researchers studied the difference in survival times of the various COVID strains including the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants. Their findings revealed that while some of the earlier variants’ survival times ranged on average from 55hrs – 150hrs, the Omicron variant has a survival time of 193.5hrs.

More research was carried out on skin samples from cadavers with average virus survival times as follows:

Original version: 8.6 hours
Alpha variant: 19.6 hours
Beta variant: 19.1 hours
Gamma variant: 11.0 hours
Delta variant: 16.8 hours
Omicron variant: 21.1 hours

The conclusion is that its high environmental stability i.e. ‘its ability to remain infectious’ might have helped Omicron replace Delta as the dominant variant and spread rapidly.

When in contact with skin, all the COVID-19 variants were completely inactivated by 15 seconds of exposure to alcohol-based sanitisers and antimicrobials. “Therefore,” the researchers conclude, “it is highly recommended that current infection control practices use disinfectants and antimicrobials… as proposed by the World Health Organization.”
