The well publicised withdrawal of Aquasept and Betadine from the UK health market creates a potential problem for those responsible for MRSA skin decolonization and hand decontamination in hospitals.

Ecolab are delighted to announce the 'straight swap' option for pharmacists and Infection Control Teams. Three of our well established brands are available now as direct replacements for Aquasept and Betadine. More importantly, these products provide the same level of decontamination without Infection Control teams having to alter codes of practice or retrain staff.
