A collaboration between Western Health and Melbourne University, ‘The McMonty’ Personal Isolation Device was primarily designed to protect healthcare workers and nearby patients from SARS-CoV-2. Once trials were complete and the device ARTG listed and commercially available, Medihood was born to manufacture, distribute and manage the effective isolation solution.

With parent company Evan Evans being a co-designer of the Australian flag, 100% Australian owned and all Medihood products being manufactured locally in Melbourne’s inner north, Medihood is truly an Australian business in every sense.
Having now supplied nearly 1 in 4 Australian Hospitals, both metro and regional (as well as moving into the NZ market), the relatively new player in the medical space looks forward to the future and further solidifying it’s place as the gold standard in infection prevention and control.

The Clorox Company has been making innovative products for more than a century that generations of people around the world trust to make their lives and the world a better place.

CloroxPro is a pioneer in both cleanliness and disinfection. It provides a wide-ranging portfolio of proven disinfectants and sanitisation products.

Offering the most robust portfolio of professional solutions, including cleaning and odour removal products, CloroxPro has a fully approved range of registered surface disinfectants for healthcare and commercial settings and electrostatic sprayer technology. Its products are trusted by sports stadiums, sports teams, leading hospitals, and schools and workplaces throughout the country, and contribute to healthier environments every day.

In shared spaces, the impacts of illnesses and infections multiply quickly and create ripple effects that are felt at individual, facility and community levels. Every year, the flu alone leads to thousands of illnesses and deaths, thousands of missed days of school and work and millions of dollars in lost productive time, but it doesn’t have to.
In today’s fast-moving, global world, outbreaks anywhere have the potential to threaten health everywhere. The rise of community-associated infections and growing threat posed by antibiotic resistance only heighten this risk and make preventing and controlling the spread of infections within and between facilities an urgent priority. The COVID-19 pandemic with its associated variances is an extreme example of that.

CloroxPro quickly identified the need to develop a product that would kill the COVID-19 virus and already has in its portfolio, a number of Therapeutic Goods Administration listed products, to kill the COVID-19 virus on surfaces.

CloroxPro is uniquely positioned to help reduce the burden of illness in the many shared spaces where we come together to work, learn, play, travel, socialise and heal. Whether it is schools, offices, restaurants, hotels, hospitals or other commercial facilities, and is committed to meet the demands of industry professionals.

Wilhelm is an Australian owned healthcare technology company on a mission to improve health in Australia and New Zealand

We exist to raise the bar on health standards in a world where this has become more challenging than ever before. Technology enables us to lead the way in modular design and construction, infection control, radiation safety and digital health, through locally engineered solutions, harnessing the latest in innovation here and from trusted brands overseas.

Allied BioServices provides the world’s best infection control technologies and services to prevent avoidable infection and protect people’s health.

Allied BioServices offers an enhanced Infection Control Service leveraging a breakthrough long-lasting disinfectant, SW2™, that forms a protective coating that makes surfaces self-disinfecting and lasts for 15 weeks even with regular cleaning. Allied BioServices has an extensive body of evidence that has clinically proven our ability to make facilities more than 10-fold more hygienic, reduce HAIs by 36% and reduce sick leave by 11.2%. Furthermore, in an international Aged Care study, their Chairman estimated that SW2™ saved over 200 lives during a COVID-19 outbreak.

In a recent ARIC journal (https://bit.ly/3uaywwJ) by Monash University, the authors estimated that 170,574 HAIs occur in adults admitted to public hospitals in Australia annually, resulting in 7,583 deaths. If these findings are accurate, it would mean last year HAIs were the 5th leading cause of death in Australia – more than heart attacks and 5 times more than Motor Vehicle accidents.

There is substantial data that estimates up to 40% of nosocomial infections are transferred via contaminated surfaces. The analysis of 177 medical journals (https://bit.ly/3zj0SaX) found that several major pathogens shed from patients contaminating surfaces at concentrations sufficient for transmission, these pathogens survive for extended periods, persist on these surfaces despite attempts to disinfect them and can be transferred to the hands of healthcare workers. The report found that evidence is accumulating that contaminated surfaces make an important contribution to the transmission of C. difficile, VRE, MRSA and norovirus and that improved environmental decontamination can contribute to their control.

SW2™ can be applied to all surfaces creating an environment that is hostile to germs, bacteria and COVID-19, providing patients and staff continuous protection. Air conditioning filters can also be coated to help reduce the risk of aerosolised bacteria and COVID-19 recirculating throughout your facilities via the HVAC systems.

Deploying SW2™ also allows you to optimise how you clean as all surfaces are self-disinfecting, dramatically reducing your reliance on harsh disinfectants and non-biodegradable wipes enabling environmentally sustainable cleaning practices.

SW2™ has been proven highly effective in Hospitals, Offices, Gyms and across multiple forms of Public Transport. International and Australian studies have seen greater than 10-fold hygiene improvements and an Australian Hospital study showed an 11.2% reduction in nursing sick leave.
