SUPER-BUGS ARE ON THE RISE!!

  • Infection is the #1 cause of death worldwide and #2 cause of death in India
  • Absenteeism due to sickness in India costs major loss of working hours. Minor illness were the most common reason given for sickness absence
  • Unhygienic conditions and habits at office and residence causes minor sickness
  • 80% of infections are spread by human touch

CURRENT SCENARIO IN INDIA

CURRENT SCENARIO IN INDIA

  • The healthcare ecosystem in India is at an inflection point. India faces the challenge of a range of infectious diseases.
  • Contact with people suffering from a communicable disease, either directly or indirectly can cause the spread of that disease.
  • Direct contact includes skin to skin, which can spread ringworm and scabies. Indirect contact refers to germs being spread through coughing, sneezing or spitting onto a person who then transfers the germs to their mouth, nose or eyes.
  • The most common diseases that are spread through contact are the common cold, influenza and whooping cough.

MICROBIAL ATTACK

  • Microbial growth is activated by high temperature and moisture
  • Standard cleaning chemicals and protocols are often ineffective and short-lived
  • Microbes rapidly adapt, mutate and multiply Chemical residues and dead microbes become food source for mutated, more resistant microbes
  • The more you clean with conventional chemicals, the greater the risk of microbe mutation!

HOW IT AFFECTS YOU?

  • Communicable diseases can affect appetite. By and large, the appetite is generally reduced relative to normal levels. The precise severity of appetite loss may depend on the kind of communicable disease as well as any pharmaceutical substances that may already be present prior to infection.

MAIN BREEDING PLACES FOR GERMS: HI-TOUCH POINTS

However, major concerns arise pertinent to those areas where there is a high ratio of citizenry and the populace is explosive

MAIN BREEDING PLACES FOR GERMS: HI-TOUCH POINTS

  • Door Knobs
  • Cafeteria
  • Switch Boards
  • Elevators
  • Stair Case railings
  • Hand taps
  • Trolleys
  • Taxi
  • Desks

Common diseases confronted

  • Chicken pox
  • Measles
  • Tuberculosis
  • Mumps
  • Leprosy
  • Pneumonia
  • Septic soar throat
  • Common cold and cough
  • Viral fever
  • Yellow fever

PRESENT DAY SUBSTITUTES

Although, hand sanitizers seem to be the only substantial solution in the present market, are they really affective?

  • Most sanitizers have alcohol and overuse leads to entry into bloodstream.
  • Not all forms of bacterial pathogens are equally vulnerable.
  • Flammable Products.
  • Compounds in hand sanitizers is Benzalkonium Chloride. It is equally harmful on the skin cells as much it is on bacteria.
  • Short term solution, ranges between an hour to three from the time when applied.

Sanitation methods in a few public places

Hospitals- These components do not provide long term solutions and hence need to be re-applied again and again to facilitate sanitation.

  • Iodophors
  • Phenolics
  • Chlorine releasing agents
  • Quats

Hotels do not generally use any standard norms to implement sanitization and it may vary from hotel to hotel.

HERE COMES... A BREAK-THROUGH TECHNOLOGY OF SANITIZATION

DPShield

ANTI-BACTERIAL SURFACE PROTECTANT

  • DPShield protection is a patented, EPA registered formula innovative new product
  • This technology is a spray-on antimicrobial protection for porous and non-porous surfaces
  • It is a microbiostatic non-leaching, non-poisonous antimicrobial surface protectant
  • Its antimicrobial protection gives substrates an added level of protection against damaging microbes such as bacteria, mould and mildew that can cause stains, odours and product deterioration

IN SIMPLE WORDS...

  • Just like how the skin acts as a protective layer to our internal organs and makes us immune to the external environment, the DPShield serves the same purpose for any surface it is applied on.
  • After spraying it forms a protective layer on the material. This layer lasts for 90 days. And normal day-to-day cleaning can be done without affecting the protective layer.
  • Any bacteria which comes in contact with this surface is ruptured from its cell wall eventually killing it. A regular wiping of this surface cleans out the dead bacteria, making the surface as good as new.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • The active ingredient in DPShield polymerizes to all surfaces and is both colourless and odourless.
  • Think of DPShield as a layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane and the remnants are then electrocuted.
  • Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial does not lose its strength and the sword is now ready for the next cell to contact it.
  • Normal cleaning of the treated surfaces is necessary in order for the DPShield antimicrobials to continue their effectiveness. Dirt build-up, paint, dead microbes, etc. will cover the treatment prohibiting it from killing microorganisms

ADVANTAGES

  • Effective- Kills almost all types of pathogenic bacteria
  • Durability – lasts for 90 days, as it does not deplete with time
  • No side-effects- does not contain any harmful components which pose as any health hazard
  • Easy to use- just a spray and a protective layer is formed
  • Eco-friendly

What sets it apart?

  • DPShield is a biostatic surface protectant. It is not:
    • Leaching Poisons
    • Heavy Metals
    • Triclosans
  • All of the products listed above can create superbugs and do not have a residual effect
  • Biostatic surface protection protects surfaces and textiles in between cleanings

WHY DPShield...?

  • DPShield continuously fights the growth of microbes that can cause stains, odours and product degradation
  • It makes all surfaces that are treated easier to clean and keeps them cleaner and fresher between cleanings

Does it start working immediately?

  • DPShield starts to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the treated surface
  • It then works continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden than would be expected on a surface without Biostatic surface protection

How do I know it will work safely?

  • Biostatic surface protection technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use
  • It is registered with the EPA for all applications in which it used
