Hospitals
NanoHygienix’s primary goal is the reduction of Nosocomial (HAIs). Hospital-Acquired Infections
- In the US the CDC estimates there are over 2 million hospital-acquired infections leading to 99,000 deaths each year
- Nosocomial infection, HAIs, increases a patient stay from 3 to 19 days
- Nosocomial infections, HAIs, place an economic burden of approx $35 billion in the US each year
- A new study by Duke University Medical Center shows one MRSA infection costs hospitals $60,000 to treat
Economic Impact of MRSA to a Healthcare Facility
| Number of MRSA Cases a Year | Economic Burden Placed on Facility |
| 5 Cases | $300,000.00 |
| 10 Cases | $600,000.00 |
| 15 Cases | $900,000.00 |
| 20 Cases | $1,200,000.00 |
| 25 Cases | $1,500,000.00 |
| 30 Cases | $1,800,000.00 |
Taking preventative measures costs only a fraction of treatment costs associated with one infection alone.
Preventing hospital-acquired infections makes hospitals more profitable.
Nanohygienix, by using the latest innovations in nanotechnology, is able to treat an entire hospital space transforming almost any surface in the facility to a perpetual self-cleaning machine. The Nano Clean Surfaces, NCS, Treatment System is a Titanium Dioxide based application employing a photocatalytic oxidation effect that will continually combat against any and all viruses, bacteria, mold, or mildew. Establishing this hygienic reduced-microbe environment provides tremendous advantage over conventional “passive protection” systems where conventional hospital cleaning chemicals are employed that have an immediate kill with no long-term cleaning or disinfecting properties.
NanoHygienix coats all surfaces and objects in patient rooms, bathrooms, nurse stations, and common areas; surfaces that are continually touched by patients, staff and visitors throughout the facility. Once treated, surfaces will reduce and limit growth of harmful microbes including: staph, MRSA, Ecoli, salmonella, influenza, C. Diff and any other organic microbe. Our coatings will last up to two years on all surfaces treated, even on heavily touched surfaces such as door knobs, railings, wheelchairs and work spaces.
The NCS Treatment Systems not only protects the surfaces that are coated but will also remove harmful VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) circulating in the air which dramatically improves the overall indoor air quality. Additionally, we are proud to be a “Green” company; offering a much greater state of hygiene and disinfecting power than facilities using conventional toxic chemicals. Once surfaces are coated, the only thing needed to keep them clean is a damp cloth and minimal effort which substantially reduces expenses for product costs and employee overhead; all while reducing unnecessary waste.
