Description
Antibiotic resistance is a global problem that spreads dangerous micro-organisms, especially in hospitals. Traditional disinfection solutions do not always provide sufficient protection. The project is developing a device that can be integrated into sinks and automatically kills micro-organisms. This in turn reduces the risks of spreading infections and improves public health
Achievable results
Previous studies have shown that hospital sinks are one of the potential sources for the spread of antimicrobial resistance micro-organisms. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a prototype device and refine its design, and to carry out a study on its performance. The main objective of the device developed in the project is to provide disinfection of the sink outlet to prevent the growth of micro-organisms, the formation of biofilms and the entry of micro-organisms into the room. This device is intended for hospital sinks.
Benefit
Reduced risks of infections and improved public health.
