US’ PDI, a leader in infection prevention products and solutions, has launched the novel, innovative disinfectants to help infection prevention professionals in the fight against rising healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) as well as the ongoing battle against COVID-19. PDI provides innovative products, educational resources, and training for healthcare.

As part of a layered approach, the new products, Sani-24 Germicidal Disposable Wipe, Sani-HyPerCide Germicidal Disposable Wipe and Sani-HyPerCide Germicidal Spray, further support PDI’s commitment to help prevent infections and promote health and wellness.

Sani-24 wipe is the first and only EPA registered disinfectant that uses continuously active disinfectant (CAD), a revolutionary technology developed by a leader in antimicrobial solutions, Microban. CAD provides protection against a wide array of pathogenic organisms within a one-minute contact time, while leaving a protective layer of disinfectant on the surface as it dries. This anti-microbial shield will continuously kill ESKAPE pathogens, which are responsible for over 40 per cent of HAIs in the healthcare environment,2 as well as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, the company said in a press release.

Sani-HyPerCide disinfectant, available in wipe and spray formats, is a new, powerful and ready-to-use cleaner with a non-bleach, hydrogen peroxide formula effective against more than 20 HAI-causing microorganisms, including the highly-contagious, difficult-to-eradicate pathogens, Clostridioides difficile (C. diff4), Candida auris (C. auris), and norovirus, as well as SARS-CoV-2.

Designed as an alternative to bleach disinfectants, the Sani-HyPerCide portfolio provides easy-to-use and efficient one-step cleaning and disinfecting used for daily, terminal and outbreak cleaning, compatible with most materials and surfaces, and requires no mixing or diluting. Its innovative formulation and multi-purpose usability enhances overall time efficiency and reduces risk of uniform discoloration as seen with bleach products, according to PDI. 

“With constant challenges to control and prevent infections in healthcare settings, Sani-24 wipe is an important addition to our innovative portfolio of disinfectants that help maintain a clean and safe environment. Given PDI’s long legacy of pioneering important infection prevention solutions, we are proud to offer healthcare facilities a solution that protects surfaces and equipment from recontamination around the clock,” Jake Watts, vice president, upstream marketing, PDI, said in a statement.

“Today’s vulnerable healthcare environment has prompted an urgent need to strengthen infection prevention programs to better safeguard patients and staff. Multiple layers of defence, including effective and easy-to-use disinfectants, will continue to be key to helping prevent infections, save costs, and improve care,” he added.
