In collaboration with leading clinicians and scientists specialising in infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and pandemic preparedness, it supports the clinical adoption of its patented technology, which demonstrates best-in-class efficacy against drug-resistant and multi-drug-resistant pathogens. The company is committed to reducing the burden of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) in global medical practice and has been recognised with the prestigious Queen’s Award to Industry for its outstanding achievements in technological innovation.
