About BioCote
The silver based BioCote antimicrobial protection releases silver ions from the surface of any material that has been coated or impregnated with it. The silver ions cause functions in the bacteria to break down, stopping their reproduction and therefore inhibiting bacterial growth.
Comark impregnates the BioCote antimicrobial into the plastic used for instrument cases and other components during the moulding process and applies it to surfaces of labels and keypads. The agent lasts throughout the life of the instrument as an extra defence against the risk of the spread of potentially harmful organisms.
Although BioCote inhibits the growth of micro-organisms on the instrument or probe handle, it does not protect individuals against such harmful organisms or remove the need to maintain the highest standards of personal and product hygiene and cleanliness.
