Our range of alcohol free disinfection products
Continu was developed in 2009 utilising the latest technology in infection
control solutions. Problems of microcracking on surgery equipment and surface degradation were being reported from use of pre-existing, market place disinfectants. As many of our own lines of equipment were becoming damaged by inadequate disinfectants, we started development of our own range, called Continu.
Continu, being water based, can be used with confidence on all surfaces within a clinical area, including equipment, without compromising on efficacy. No hazard warnings also make Continu an ideal choice that simplifies the COSHH risk assessment process.

Surface Cleaning Techniques
Throughout the day, surfaces accumulate germs and dirt as they are touched by objects, people or airborne particles. Surfaces can harbour harmful microbes such as bacteria's and viruses and become a ground zero for further spread via cross contamination.
Regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces is vital to help prevent the spread of harmful microbes. Proper surface cleaning technique is every bit as important as the products used.
Hand Washing Techniques
Throughout the day, hands accumulate germs and dirt as they touch objects and other people. Individuals can then transfer these substances to others or infect themselves when touching their faces. Even with the use of gloves, transfer can occur.
Regular handwashing can limit the transfer of microbes, such as bacteria and viruses. However, many people do not wash their hands properly or for long enough to get rid of the germs. Proper hand washing technique is more than just the product used.
