German Innovation Award 2019 for new antibacterial coatings

Nano-Care Deutschland AG, a nanotechnology company, won the 2019 German Innovation Award for its new innovations in antibacterial coatings to prevent life-threatening infections caused by microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA "Staphylococcus infection").
Oliver Sonntag, CEO of Nano-Care Deutschland Antibacterial Coatings and Dr. Fabienne Hennessen.
new technology - "Liquid Guard" - will be rolled out worldwide, including in the United States and China, to protect the surface from microbial growth 24 hours a day against microorganisms, including Staphylococcus acobacteria, which is no longer controlled by

.
While most EPA or BPR approved products are limited in their efficacy duration, new developments provide lasting protection, such as skin and staphylococcus infections, attacks on the immune system, and as long-term disease control.
In addition to the risk of skin contact that can be controlled by hand lotion, smear infections or surgical wounds (invasive MRSA infections) of personal items are one of the most common causes of infection because they can carry MRSA through direct contact.
sprays can only be used for short periods
" Although short-term disinfectants are non-toxic, they can only have temporary effects. When these antibacterial sprays are applied, microorganisms begin to grow immediately because they are not good for the durability of the bacteria that cause odors and for mold growth (mold control). Most customer reviews show limited durability of antimicrobial products," said Oliver Sonntag, CEO of Nano-Care Deutschland AG.
Fabienne Hennessen, a microbiologist at Nano-Care Deutschland AG, said: "We are honored to receive this award for our public health innovations, which will leave a permanent antibacterial coating on the surface and fight MRSA bacteria.
A distribution contract
In a health care facility such as a hospital or nursing home, poor hand washing can lead to the spread of MRSA, and in a healthcare environment, healthy people may be at risk of other infections, such as bacterial gastrointestinal diseases. Nano-Care has a European market contract with a healthcare provider for exclusive distribution in this area.
