Hospital hygiene is being looked at from all angles in this day and age with the heightened awareness of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI’s). The consideration of AlphaSan® as a protective element is an easy choice as it is already being used in registered medical device products as well as diagnostic instruments and components of nursing stations. Silver has also been a well-accepted antimicrobial amongst healthcare providers for some time as it is able to meet the high handling, durability and effectiveness requirements of the medical industry.
We can provide assistance with gaining FDA 510(k) registrations for our customers’ final devices. In fact, Milliken even offers an advanced wound dressing, SelectSilver®, utilizing AlphaSan® that we sell directly to the healthcare market.
