It goes without saying that patients don’t want germs in their healthcare facilities, but COVID-19 has completely changed people’s standards for cleanliness. We finally learned that washing our hands is important, because apparently some of us didn’t pick that up in kindergarten. And many of us will never look at shared devices, office spaces, or door knobs the same way again.

As we adjust to this new normal, we must look at technologies that can help protect the everyday products we use. Enter Sciessent’s Agion® Antimicrobial, the smartest antimicrobial on the market, offering long-lasting protection for everything from your bedsheets to your dad’s implanted heart stent. Not only is it effective, it’s efficient too.

Take the Nexera SpectraShield surgical respirator for example. With the help of Agion technology, the Nexera mask was cleared by NIOSH and received an updated 510(k) from the FDA, with approved claims to inactivate viruses by 99.99% in just five minutes*.

How Does it Work?

Microbes, like bacteria and viruses, are the pathogens responsible for many infectious diseases. They live on surfaces in hospitals, such as catheters, bioconnectors, surgical respirators and implantable mesh which then spread to your skin. Pretty gross, right?

Agion antimicrobial agents use a unique zeolite and ion exchange process to inactivate microbes when conditions are right for microbial growth, by preventing respiration, inhibiting cell division, and disrupting cell metabolism. To put it simply, Agion fights viruses in five minutes, creating a safer environment for your patients.
