DECORATIVE print finishing company Celloglas has launched a new product aimed at reducing the spread of illnesses such as the hospital superbug MRSA.
The Leeds-based firm has produced a film called Cellomed that claims to provide an added level of protection when laminated on surfaces such as greetings cards, menus or a hospital food tray liner.
It says the film continuously provides an added
level of protection against infections, offering a level of cover that has never been possible before.
The company claims clinical tests show that Cellomed prevents the spread and growth of a diverse range of infections, including the bacteria MRSA and E.Coli, on the surface of a film.
Possible uses for the Cellomed film include lamination of menus, greeting cards and medical records as well as packaging, and many other items that may come into contact with people.
Steve Middleton, sales and marketing director at Celloglas, said: "We are very proud to be able to offer this product as this is by far one of the most exciting developments in the last 10 years.
"It offers the opportunity to use laminate as a tool for protection against diseases, making surroundings safer."
The film is available in silk or gloss and comes from a sustainable resource.
