Giltech, a world leader in the field of controlled delivery and biodegradable technologies could save thousands of lives every year in the UK alone if its MRSA killing products prove successful.

The Ayr-based firm is working in partnership with NHS Ayrshire & Arran to develop MRSA decolonisation products that have the potential to beat the superbug on a global scale.

Silver ions are renowned for their anti-microbial (anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal) properties. They act as an extremely effective barrier to infection and cross contamination and are extremely effective against Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) including MRSA and C.difficile.
