BIOCOTE
Abacus baths now feature integrated BioCote antimicrobial technology.
This silver-ion based technology has been proven to reduce harmful bacteria by up to 98% within care
homes and hospitals. It continues to provide 99.9% 24/7 protection against harmful superbugs such as
Influenza H1N1, E.coli, Salmonella and antibiotic resistant MRSA. This impressive capability is now
supplied as standard in Abacus Gemini baths.
The hidden dangers of infectious Superbugs are a growing threat, particularly as traditional disinfectants
are becoming ineffective against evolving microbes. When you consider vulnerable individuals can be
more susceptible to infection, then the need for BioCote whilst bathing is vital. Reducing the risk of illness
and cross contamination means less medical intervention is likely outside of the bathroom – reducing
pressure and stress on everyone affected by disability.
Abacus believe in providing wellness with peace of mind so bathing is enjoyable and therapeutic.
BioCote is not a coating, it is integrated into GRP during the bath manufacture so cannot be wiped or
worn away. Therefore, it provides consistent, infallible protection throughout the life time of the bath.
This invisible component reduces stains, odours and enhances bath surface durability.
