Following our return from the Infection Prevention Society (IPS) 2024 conference, where we had the pleasure of catching up with our customers and meeting new faces in the infection prevention community. It’s always a highlight for us to have face-to-face conversations with infection prevention and control specialists, who play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare hygiene.
Understanding of peracetic acid on the rise
If there was one key takeaway from the event? It’s that the tide is turning within the NHS away from chlorine-based products, and we’re excited to see peracetic acid (PAA) being more widely discussed and accepted as the future of high-level cleaning and disinfection.
At MTP Innovations, we’ve championed PAA for over 14 years through our flagship product, DiffX™. It’s heartening to see the growing momentum around this more sustainable and effective alternative to chlorine.
In fact, one of the major teaching hospitals in England has been using DiffX™ for over 12 years. The trust in our product’s longevity, reliability, and proven performance speaks volumes about its effectiveness. Whether it’s reducing infection rates or offering a greener option, DiffX™ has remained the tried-and-tested choice for healthcare institutions across the UK.
New interest from hospices, care homes, and domiciliary care
It’s not just hospitals turning to DiffX™. We’re noticing growing interest from hospices, care homes, and domiciliary care providers. Trials are underway across the country, and more healthcare providers are making the switch to our product, recognising the environmental and clinical benefits of moving away from chlorine.
Supporting sustainability in healthcare
At MTP Innovations, we’re passionate about both healthcare and sustainability. That’s why, as promised, we’re pleased to announce that we will be making a donation to the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. This reflects our commitment to driving change, not just through the products we offer, but through supporting broader initiatives that align with our values of environmental responsibility and innovation.
Here to stay
While you will, no doubt, begin to see other peracetic acid products in the market, we’ve been at the forefront of PAA disinfection for over a decade. Our track record and long-term relationships speak for themselves – proven performance, trusted by the NHS and care sectors, and a clear commitment to the future of sustainable healthcare.
