Over 900,000 people die every year due to multi-drug resistance diseases, with an estimated over 11 times increase by the year 2050, the financial fallout of this would rival that of the 2008 financial crisis.

The healthcare sector is at substantial risk of multi-drug resistance-related disease complications, putting healthcare providers and patients at an increased risk of catching infectious diseases, which has the potential to cause life-threatening complications in routine operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the necessity of incorporating infection control products and measures globally to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients.

ELERS MEDICAL, founded in 2014, is an internationally leading healthcare solutions provider, working to combat the rise of hospital-acquired infections through their patented range of over 30 professional and innovative infection control products.

Close the Curtain on Infection

Traditional washable textile privacy curtains made from materials like cotton and polycotton can harbour dangerous bacteria on their surfaces, increasing the risk to patients and healthcare professionals..

ELERS MEDICAL have developed a range of Antimicrobial Disposable Curtains, manufactured from a treated fabric which makes it difficult for bacteria to survive and reproduce. ELERS MEDICAL curtains are treated with an antibacterial solution which neutralizes harmful mirco-organisms upon contact with the fabric, working preventatively to help reduce pathogen transfer and the possibility of hospital acquired infection rates.

Conserving the Environment

ELERS MEDICAL is committed to reducing their carbon emissions through the continuous innovation of sustainable and environmentally friendly products. Ensuring all products created under their umbrella are 100% recyclable to combat their disposability.

ELERS MEDICAL’s patented Antimicrobial Disposable Curtains are designed to be cost effective, simple to use and with no costly initial capital expenditure. Additionally the product reduces laundry service rates, which pose high costs to healthcare budgets and increases carbon emissions.

“Everything we manufacture is 100% recyclable. We don’t have chemicals in the products that would make them unrecyclable.”
