mædical™
mædical™ is an antimicrobial treatment that is applied to the
carpet fibres of our Healthcare Collection. The concept of the
mædical™ technology is based on ‘intelligent’ or functional
microbial protection that reaches personalised performance built
around freshness, comfort, hygiene or in other words well being.
mædical™ is a revolutionary technology that guarantees optimum
active freshness and active hygiene for textiles, even after
intensive use and frequent cleaning. The mædical™ technology is
based on the fixation of a non-migrating permanent nano-coating
on the fibres. The nano-coating is specially designed to
deactivate microorganisms.
mædical™ is important for anyone needing to either eliminate
odours or increase health protection. It is ideal for sectors
where carpeting is used near or around food and drink, such as
in the healthcare and hospitality sectors.
The benefits of mædical™ technology
• Long lasting freshness
• Eliminates the smells created by yeast, fungus and bacteria in
carpets
• Controls or eliminates microbial staining.
• Eliminates dust mites
• Reduces the risk of cross contamination.

Difficil-S
Carpets play a key role in the creation of a therapeutic and
domestic environment within care home facilities, but it’s
essential that they are regularly cleaned to minimise the spread
of infection.
danfloor is the only carpet manufacturer to be approved and
nominated as a partner of Difficil-S®, a powerful and
revolutionary broad spectrum disinfectant that has a 5-log
reduction of 99.999% and which kills all known pathogens
including MRSA, Clostridium difficile (inc spores), E.coli and
the norovirus.
danfloor recommends the use of Difficil-S® as part of a regular
infection control programme. Difficil-S® should be used in areas
that are at high risk of contamination eg. within areas where
there is frequent movement of patients to and from hospital or
where there has been an organic spill (i.e. blood, faeces or
vomit). In addition to this Difficil-S® will not bleach the
carpet and in killing bacteria will neutralise any unpleasant
smells eg. urine.
