Challenge:
To protect against the problematic transference of major contamination throughout wards, commonly caused by personnel and wheeled trolleys. There stood a high risk of transferring contamination through regular disturbance in the air in areas of high personnel throughput, particularly entrance and exit areas.

Solution:
Dycem WorkZone fitted throughout the wards to reduce microbial counts on the footwear of staff moving between one cleanroom and another. The result of fitting Dycem High Performance polymeric flooring assures an 80% decrease in the microbial counts.

Statement:
"We have used Dycem for many years in our aseptic processing areas. We use it in transfer hatches (for wheels) and at entrances and exits to restrict the outside micro-organisms from getting into the facility. "
