Author: Shubham Karnani

In the realm of healthcare, where patient safety and infection control are paramount, the role of hospital disinfection and sterilization cannot be overstated. The whole process is critical in healthcare settings to prevent the spread of infections and ensure patient safety. Hospital is the main source of spreading several kinds of infection, and for this, everyone in hospital is exposed to a higher level of risk. Mainly in hospitals, nosocomial infections are one of a dangerous types that develop within 48-72 hours of hospital discharge. It can be avoided only through maintaining safe hygiene in the hospital area. The sterilization and disinfection processes of hospitals mainly prevents secondary transmission route. These processes involve the removal or killing of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, from surfaces, equipment, and instruments used in healthcare settings.

Both disinfection and sterilization are essential, but they differ in terms of the level of microbial elimination. Silver hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid solutions, orthophthaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and hydrogen peroxide-based hand sanitizers are essential components of a comprehensive strategy to combat hospital acquired infections (HAIs) and healthcare associated infections (HAIs). These solutions, along with other disinfectant sprays, play a pivotal role in maintaining a pristine healthcare environment.

  • Silver Hydrogen Peroxide is gaining recognition for its efficacy in surface disinfection and its varied uses in healthcare settings. Hospitals worldwide are turning to silver hydrogen peroxide to combat pathogens and enhance the safety of their patients.
  • Peracetic acid disinfectants, another valuable tool, are highly effective in medical equipment sterilization. They play a crucial role in ensuring the cleanliness and sterility of instruments used in surgical procedures.
  • Orthophthaldehyde and glutaraldehyde disinfectants are trusted solutions for medical equipment sterilization. Their use contributes to the prevention of surgical site infections, a critical concern in healthcare.
  • Hydrogen peroxide-based hand sanitizers are essential for personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand hygiene, particularly in healthcare settings. These sanitizers are indispensable for healthcare professionals and staff.
  • Alcohol-based disinfectant’s antimicrobial activity is capable of both denaturation and coagulating proteins. Due to this, microbes lose their protective coatings and become non-functional.
