Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare: Business News

CMI Enterprises, a leading supplier in the coated fabrics and upholstery industry has announced the development and market availability of its new environmentally friendly NanocideTM Antimicrobial. Their newly released "Dimensions" line for upholstery and bedding will be the first of its kind for the industry, featuring the NanocideTM Antimicrobial.

Test results for CMI's "Dimensions" line have shown that 99.9% of resistant Staphylococcus germs that come in contact with it are killed within 30 minutes. Targeting the health care, contract furniture and transportation industries - the NanocideTM Antimicrobial will provide hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and nursing homes an environment that is essentially risk free of contamination, and subsequent patient infection and other potential health related issues arising from seating and bedding upholstery material.
 

When compared to arsenic and cyanide-based biocides used in most seating and bedding products today, NanocideÅ is clearly the more effective and comprehensive "killing" antimicrobial.
 

Lacking CMI's Nanotechnology in their design and development, other biocide treatments slowly migrate to the fabric's surface where they are fugitive and can be washed and/or worn away over a period of time - completely loosing their "blocking" effectiveness and increasing the risk of contamination and infection.

Conversely, when CMI's recommended cleaning and care instructions are properly followed, the nanoparticles cannot be washed away, worn off or depleted overtime. Its effectiveness is as powerful at the end of the upholstery fabric's life cycle as it is at its beginning.

The Nanotechnology employed is unique in the fact that the bacteria does not have to ingest or absorb the biocide, but is killed when it comes into contact with the Ion field on the surface.
