UV Sterilisation for Hospitals

UV sterilisation uses ultraviolet light to kill germs. This process is often used by hospitals and other medical facilities to keep high-touch surfaces such as keyboards and devices clean, while allowing for quick, easy cleaning of frequently touched surfaces with common disinfectants.

How Does UV Light Sterilization Work?

The entire process works based on the idea that exposing most types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores and other microbes to UV light at a specific wavelength and intensity, will cause irreversible damage to microbe DNA. This is because UV light excites or binds electrons in microbial DNA, causing them to heat up.

What UV Sanitation Devices Are There?

There are a range of UV light sterilization devices with the two common types being mounted devices and cabinet devices.

UV Light Sterilisation Device

At Debetrek, we have popular devices such as the Proximity UV-Clean which can be retrofitted to medical carts and workstations to keep keyboards and devices clean.

UV Sterilisation Cabinets

We also stock two types of UV Sanitizer ‘Cabinets’ with a larger version being the ElectroClave UV-C Disenfection Cabinet, which is perfect for mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets and can disenfect and charge anywhere from 4 – 10 devices. This is suitable for busy, central workstations in a healthcare centre of hospital.

Alternatively, we have devices such as the Proximity UV-Cube which is smaller and doesn’t charge devices, but still suitable for Mobile Phones, Mobile Computers and Tablets.
