Many of us don’t like to think about the germs that surround us every day, but with continually evolving and newly identified germs, along with growing concerns over antibiotic resistance to known germs, we have to take new steps to help protect ourselves.

Traditional disinfection methods have been used for centuries – but are they good enough? The truth is that even the most rigorous cleaning with hot water, bleach, and disinfectants can miss harmful germs and bacteria. In the worst-case scenario, those things may cause illness or even death, especially in this year.

UV light disinfection uses ultraviolet technology to kill all germs and bacteria more quickly and is a great supplement for other methods.  The UV dental autoclave sterilizer is a device designed to sterilize primarily air and various flat surfaces. It complements the disinfection and sterilization processes of tools in an autoclave, carried out in places such as treatment rooms, operating theatres in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. It occurs mainly in the form of mercury lamps, which job is to sterilize the air. In the era of a pandemic, it is also used in public transport, for example in buses in China, where it is used to minimize the risk of droplet coronavirus infection.

Disinfecting with UV light is that this method of disinfection can me far more effective than other methods. UV light kills a wide array of harmful organisms. For example, did you know that UV light destroys molds and spores? Other disinfection methods may not – or they may leave a damp environment where they can thrive. Since UV disinfection is a dry method, you can be sure that it will take care of existing mold and prevent its growth in the future.

Unlike traditional disinfection methods, UV light disinfection is a physical method for killing bacteria.  Therefore, bacteria in question cannot build immunity to it. That’s a huge plus, particularly for hospitals and assisted living facilities.
