You have to use a Pen - So why not an Anti Bacterial Pen? With MRSA , Clostridium Difficile and H1N1 Swine Flu continuing to hit the headlines (there were 6,381 cases of MRSA in the year to April 2007 and 13,666 infections of C Diff in the three months from April to June alone), minimising cross-infection within hospitals and other at risk facilities is a major concern for healthcare professionals. Healthcare workers are being encouraged adhere to infection control practice and procedures and everyone is instructed to wash their hands constantly but the simple Pen has thus far escaped the attention of "infection control" practice but has long been recognized as a serious risk. The Medisafe Antibacterial Pen offers the key benefit of being manufactured from plastic impregnated with an anti-infective additive. This means the pen is still effective even after scratches or long term use. Following tests by an independent Microbiological and Cell Culture Technology laboratory using Escherichia Coli, Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, the additive is certified as having a definite antibacterial effect. The Medisafe Antibacterial Pen has a modern barrel design, in white, with an ergonomic ripple-profile grip section. Its a simple yet very effective step toward reducing infection within the healthcare area.

This antibacterial pen is a combination of the best Anglo-German technical and manufacturing expertise and has taken two years to develop, undergoing rigorous research and testing.

The active agent has been tested against the most virulent bacteria and viruses to the following standards:

	BS EN20645
	FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration)
	BPD (E.U. Bionocide Product Directive)
	HSE (U.K. Health & Safety Executive)
	FDAS (Food & Drug Analytical Service Ltd)
	EN71/3 & EN71/9

Kill rate of 99.9% over a 24 hour period
(standard test period for a product of this type)

The Active Agent
As soon as the pen comes into contact with bacteria it begins the process of destroying them through starving the nutrients. On the majority of surfaces, bacteria will flourish and be easily transferred. Not so with the Medisafe antibacterial pen.

Consequently, the pen is continuously re-cleaning itself ’Living Pen’ tm. The active agent is effective for 100% of the lifetime of the pen, is non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic.

The active agent is UK proof and water-insoluble, scratch and wear resistant. The active agent will not adversely affect the skin when in direct contact.
