There is more to Tristel than just wipes…

For over 31 years, Tristel has remained the global leader in chlorine dioxide disinfection solutions for infection prevention and control. With the Tristel ‘Trio50’ Wipes System available in Australasia for over a decade, we have expanded its product portfolio to offer solutions for new applications. These include products built on the foundations of chlorine dioxide, as well as other infection control solutions. More than wipes, more than one product, more than one department, Tristel’s growth continues both in Australasia and beyond.

At the heart of our success is a proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry. Chlorine dioxide is a broad-spectrum biocide with proven activity against bacteria, viruses, yeasts, mycobacteria, and bacterial spores in testing against global norms. Chlorine dioxide has a proven public record as a high-level, sporicidal disinfectant that is effective in contact times as short as 30 seconds.

We provide chlorine dioxide in several forms for medical devices separate to wipes. Tristel’s Stella System is a semi-automated system designed for high-level disinfection of medical devices with a five-minute cycle time. The ‘Duo’ range provides disinfection for non-critical ultrasound and ophthalmological devices with contact times of 30-seconds and two-minutes, respectively. Tristel’s Rinse Assure System has been designed to generate and supply AS/NZS 5369:2023 compliant final rinse water to Endoscope Washer Disinfectors (EWDs) via filtration, reverse osmosis and trace dosing of chlorine dioxide. We also offer a range of disinfection solutions for environmental surfaces.

Effective Infection Control cannot be achieved via a single product or practice; it is a combination of elements. This is why Tristel also provides accessory products and services to support product use, including for the user, the data and the devices. The educational ‘Tristel Online Training Portal’ ensures users can receive in-servicing anywhere and anytime, including certifications for completion of education. Tristel 3T provides facilities with the ability to implement digital traceability of disinfection cycles using a system with high levels of security and data privacy. Finally, Tristel Protect ensures validated, 72-hour storage of small and medium-sized medical devices using a dedicated, portable system.

We partner with likeminded businesses pioneering infection control. Within Australasia, Tristel distributes the award-winning daisygrip tourniquet – a reusable tourniquet with a magnetic, self-finding buckle and silicone strap. Developed with sustainability and economy in mind, daisygrip can be disinfected quickly and easily ready to be reused in minutes.

‘‘Best practice” are two words the Whiteley organisation takes very seriously. Because in the field of cleaning and infection control – best practice saves lives and livelihoods. 

And given how pathogens spread and mutate so easily, improving infection prevention processes has never been more important. 

Fortunately, under the leadership of Dr. Greg Whiteley – a world-renowned expert on infection prevention and control, best practice is always advancing. 

An obsessive focus on clinical research combined with a bespoke TGA certified manufacturing facility has already led to many significant advances in hand hygiene as well as medical instrument and hard surface cleaning and disinfection. And these have been relied upon by healthcare facilities both in Australia and overseas for many decades. 

And today, more than ever, that has never been more important.
