At Uniwipe, we continually strengthen support for infection control and infection prevention across healthcare environments. Our newest development introduces a dedicated Burkholderia cepacia test for Uniwipe Clinical 2-in-1 wipes. This enhancement reinforces NHS hygiene standards and keeps Uniwipe at the forefront of hospital infection control innovation.
Why This New Test Matters
Burkholderia cepacia is a resilient organism that can survive certain disinfectants if products are not rigorously tested. According to CDC guidance, it can cause serious healthcare-associated infections, especially in vulnerable patients. Our Clinical 2-in-1 wipes eliminate Burkholderia cepacia in 30 seconds according to EN13727. This fast action provides strong reassurance to healthcare professionals and supports effective infection control within standard NHS contact times.
Proven Efficacy of Uniwipe Clinical 2-in-1 Wipes
At Uniwipe, we understand the vital role of infection prevention in NHS facilities. Our Clinical 2-in-1 range provides cost-effective and sustainable cleaning solutions suitable for all NHS environments. The products (VEP85108 and VEP85023) are designed for non-invasive medical devices and are listed in the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue.
Both wipes are safe on skin and surfaces. They are UKCA compliant, manufactured in the UK, and officially certified as Class IIa Medical Devices. They achieve a 99.999% kill rate of bacteria and work within 30 seconds against cross-contamination, infections, and enveloped viruses. Independent laboratory tests confirm the highest EN standard accreditations, including EN16615, EN1276, EN13727, EN13697, EN13624, EN14561, EN16777, and EN14476.
Supporting NHS Hygiene and Hospital Infection Control
Burkholderia cepacia is linked to outbreaks in clinical areas. Thorough validation is essential for infection control products. The addition of our new test strengthens the reliability of our Clinical 2-in-1 wipes for infection prevention teams. Further guidance on infection prevention is provided by NHS resources on healthcare-associated infections, emphasising consistent hygiene practices.
Benefits for Hospital Trusts and Healthcare Organisations
