Biofilm Management

Biofilm management involves controlling and removing slimy communities of bacteria that attach to surfaces, such as medical devices or pipes. These biofilms can protect bacteria from disinfectants and antibiotics, making infections harder to treat. Strategies include proper cleaning to physically remove biofilms, using specific chemicals that can break down their structure, and employing advanced technologies like ultrasound or coated surfaces to prevent their formation. Effective management is essential for maintaining hygiene, preventing infections, and ensuring the longevity of equipment.
