Or MRSA as it is know has a tendency for the rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance.
EMRSA15 and EMRSA16 are resistant to various antibiotics and it is known that Staphylococcus aureus can survive intracellularly.

The outer Pu covering is the first line of defence in both Patient Comfort and easy sanitizing.
The inner side of the outer cover is white so any nicks, cuts or slashes are easily visible. The cover is extremely durable and can be washed at high temperature.
Anti-bacterial sanitizing liquid applied with a cloth is recommended.
Please contact your Infection Control Nurse for specific sanitizing advice.
