November 22, 2006—AliMed, a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality products to the healthcare industry, is now offering hundreds of products featuring the AgION antimicrobial to its customers at healthcare facilities worldwide.
The company’s new product catalog features both AgION’s SilverClene24 disinfectant along with a wide array of proprietary products and solutions from leading manufacturers that incorporate the innovative antimicrobial. The antimicrobial, developed by AgION Technologies, Inc., is based on naturally-occurring silver which reduces surface contamination by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and fungus.
AgION’s newly launched SilverClene24 is a liquid disinfectant and virucide that provides 24-hour protection against a wide range of bacteria, mold and fungi. In addition to being effective for up to 24 hours, the disinfectant is colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, non-flammable and does not produce irritating fumes. SilverClene24 is effective against over 100 strains of bacteria, mold and fungi, including MSRA, HIV, influenza and Rhinovirus. The product can kill bacteria in as little as 30 seconds and can eliminate viruses and fungus in ten minutes.
AgION’s other antimicrobial products can be incorporated into a coating or directly into the product and is comprised of naturally-occurring silver ions, says AliMed. Silver has long been recognized for its antimicrobial properties and humans have used silver for thousands of years to combat a wide range of microbes. The AgION antimicrobial provides continuous and long-lasting protection from microbes by releasing silver ions at a slow and steady rate.
Since its inception in the early 1970s, AliMed Inc. has grown to become a leading manufacturer, designer, and distributor of OR, critical care, surgical, diagnostic imaging, patient care, rehabilitation, and ergonomic products. For more information, see the Web site.
