Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) affect approximately 5% of the hospitalized population and can cost up to US$40 billion annually. Soft surfaces within the hospital are an important but often overlooked component of the inanimate environment surrounding patients. Fabrics can be difficult to disinfect and have recently been shown to harbor bacteria such as MRSA. Few published textile treatments are capable of creating a self-sanitizing textile and none are EPA registered. Microban has developed a textile that is able to reduce surface bacterial populations by 99.9% within 1 minute. In addition, the textile provides antibacterial protection over the course of 24 hours during normal use. These treatments, along with routine infection control measures, provide an additional component to reduce HAI and aid with infection control.
