Shield

Primel® Active Hand Shield is powered by TridAnt® Enhanced Antimicrobial technology, which is being used for the life-sciences industry and on long-term class 3 medical devices. It offers a more effective and efficient way to combat infections by providing fast-acting and sustained protection against the broadest spectrum of germs, with the additional ability to reduce the transmission of germs as well.

The key differentiating features of Primel® Active Hand Shield are:

Contact Kill mechanism: ensures immediate protection against pathogens and reduces the time it takes to disinfect a person’s hands.

Sustained effect: builds on the immediate protection and safeguards that pathogens are killed continuously.

Board spectrum: antimicrobial activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast and spores including superbugs and drug-resistant pathogens.

Protect on Touch: provides unprecedented protection, allowing the wearer to stay safe while reducing pathogens on touched surfaces. It breaks pathogen transmission in two ways: fewer pathogens on the wearer’s hands and on the surfaces they contact. This minimizes the wearer’s ability to spread pathogens and reduces the risk for others who touch the same surfaces.

Suitable for sensitive skin: dermatologically tested for long-term moisturisation, and proven to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Shield Reset Shield

Primel’s new “Shield, Reset, Shield (S.R.S.)” regimen has been designed as a simple to understand, easy to apply policy for healthcare professionals with the key aim of improving patient care, enhancing compliance levels and elevating hygiene standards within hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Easy to apply

It enhances pathogen protection, improves hygiene standards, and advances global infection prevention infrastructure.
