In pediatric healthcare, hygiene is not only important, it is vital. This is especially true in wards where patients have severely weakened immune systems and are at increased risk of infection. At the Bethesda Children's Hospital burn unit, professionals work in precisely this kind of environment every day. The hospital management therefore decided to implement the BioSilver47 Clean+Safe hygiene system, which provides long-term, chemical-free protection in hospital rooms.
SafeCover – invisible security
Children suffering from burns are particularly vulnerable to infections. In a hospital environment, every surface they touch can pose a potential risk. In the burn unit at Bethesda Children's Hospital, the walls of the hospital rooms were decorated with plush animal figures, creating a friendly, child-friendly environment for the young patients. However, these decorations made it difficult to maintain hygiene, as it is almost impossible to disinfect every tiny crevice and texture using traditional cleaning methods.
One of the cornerstones of the Clean+Safe system, SafeCover cold fogging, provides a solution in this area. The cold fog enriched with silver ions can settle on all surfaces, even in the most difficult to reach places, such as behind radiators, the ceiling, or the deeper textures of plush toys. This provided the hospital rooms with comprehensive, invisible antimicrobial protection.
Additional elements of the Clean+Safe system
MaxProtect surface treatment on the most frequently touched areas – such as door handles, cabinets, and bed ends – while DefendTouch antimicrobial stickers visually communicate hygiene safety, reinforcing the confidence of patients and relatives on light switches, soap dispensers and toilet flush buttons.
A chemical-free, safe future
Bethesda management emphasized that the Clean+Safe system is the only alternative for them to ensure long-term, chemical-free antimicrobial protection in such a sensitive environment. The invisible layer formed permanently prevents pathogens from adhering, while being completely safe for young patients and hospital staff.
This solution leaves no residue, does not alter the appearance of surfaces, and is odorless, so it does not cause discomfort to children. Thanks to the self-regenerating properties of the technology, protection is maintained continuously, raising hygiene in the hospital to a new, reliable level.
New perspectives in child health hygiene
The Clean+Safe treatment carried out in the burns unit at Bethesda Children's Hospital goes beyond a simple hygiene intervention: it clearly illustrates how modern technology can provide a long-term solution even in the most sensitive environments.
BioSilver47 is honored to have contributed to creating a safer, healthier environment for children to recover in—and to making the daily lives of hospital staff easier and safer.
