Machine to reduce risk of MRSA installed at Bantry Hospital

A machine which can significantly reduce the presence of MRSA and the winter vomiting bug has been installed in a Cork hospital.

It is the first time that the Glosair 400 System has been used in a Cork hospital. It has been installed at Bantry General Hospital, thanks to a voluntary group.

The machine emits low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide which kills microbes without leaving toxic residues.
