The evolution of UVC disinfection: Where do we go from here?
Alice Brewer, Director of Clinical Affairs, Tru-D SmartUVC
The UVC disinfection market has grown exponentially in the past five years as hospitals have been more receptive to adopting the technology. Hospitals are realizing that it’s critical to provide the cleanest environments possible.
As the emphasis on providing the cleanest environment possible grows, hospitals will continue to seek out new ways to utilize technology in all areas of a facility. From patient rooms to ORs and procedure rooms, to clinic areas and outpatient spaces, UVC disinfection is an important adjunct to standard cleaning practices.
As prominent organizations such as the AHA, the CDC and ASHE begin to stress the use of enhanced terminal room disinfection technology, we believe UVC disinfection will become a standard of care for health care facilities.
