KNOWLEDGE Tear resistance offers many benefits in everyday clinical practice Tear resistance or tensile strength of disinfectant wipes is another important consideration. This is because it has a subtle influence on the efficiency of wipe application and the efficient use of wipes in everyday clinical practice.Tear-resistant wipes offer the following advantages in clinical practice: a strong and tear-resistant wipe can be applied to a surface with more pressure. This means stubborn and dried-on dirt or contamination can be removed more effectively. A stronger wipe can also be used on textured or rough surfaces - such as Sustainable growth: The cellulose-based disinfectant wipes Bacillol® Zero Tissues and Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Green Tissues have been available in BIG PACKS since December. The big advantage for customers is that the 20 x 18 cm wipes now allow surfaces to be disinfected 160 times per pack in a cost-effective and more sustainable way. Bacillol® Zero Tissues, available from September 2023, represent a new generation of professional disinfectant wipes and set standards in several areas: the nonwoven wipe material is made from raw materials sourced from sustainable forestry and is 100% plastic-free. The Bacillol® Zero Tissues packaging foil is made from pure polypropylene and thus,fully recyclable. The disinfecting action of the wipes is based on a new patented complex of naturally occurring organic fruit acids: the Organic Acid Complex. Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Green Wipes have also been available in BIG PACKs since December. The disinfectant wipes, available from April 2020, are the ’green‘ version of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues: they are just as effective and gentle on materials and skin as the tissues but save around 30% CO2 per pack and up to 65% per wipe compared to Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues. now also available in BIG PACKS patient beds - without tearing. Once you have gained confidence in the strength of tear-resistant wipes, you will also stop pulling out multiple wipes as a ’precaution‘: this saves money in the long run and is more sustainable.
