Dyphox
for Medical Clinics
Increased standards of cleanliness in hygiene-sensitive medical environments help reduce the risk of microbe transmissions and protect the health of staff and patients.

and healthcare
Achieving and maintaining high standards of cleanliness is critical in the healthcare industry. Medical clinics of all kinds, from dentist offices to rehabilitation centres, have a duty to protect their staff, visitors and patients, many of whom are vulnerable, from the risk of contracting an illness while on their premises.
As manual cleaning does not offer long-term protection against the transmission of bacteria and viruses, a more effective solution is needed. Dyphox’s versatile long lasting antimicrobial coating technology kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, helping reduce the risk of contamination and bridge the hygiene gap in medical environments.

Why Choose Dyphox
Increasing standards of cleanliness by adhering to industry best practices has benefits for medical clinics, their employees and their clients. Dyphox is a semi-permanent solution that works for 12 months, with just one application providing lasting infection protection against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including covid-19, as well as multi-resistant germs.
Improve infection control
standards
Ensure your clinic measures up against best practices in hygiene maintenance by improving infection control standards with a rigorous hygiene plan. Germs and bacteria introduced by droplets and contact infections can be prevented from settling with Dyphox’s antimicrobial solution without a build-up of resistance.
Increased staff attendance
No matter their role, workers in the healthcare sector are at risk of contracting common illnesses due to the increased chances of transmission in their work environments. Preventing bacteria and viruses from settling on frequently-touched surfaces can reduce the number of staff absences due to illness.
Support for patients and visitors
Attending healthcare appointments can be anxiety-inducing for many patients, especially in an ongoing worldwide pandemic. Support patients and their relatives by creating a safe environment that offers them peace of mind.
99.99% effectiveness* proven
in labs and field studies
Dyphox is the only antimicrobial solution proven to effectively kill bacteria and viruses in field studies. Its efficacy has been extensively reviewed in both lab and field environments, with studies concluding it works to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.
Wide range of protection
Dyphox offers high levels of protection against most bacteria and viruses commonly found in medical clinics, including COVID, MRSA, INFLUENZA A, ADENOVIRUS*, STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII and ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM**.
*ISO 22196 (mod.) **ISO 21702 (mod.)

How Dyphox works
Dyphox is applied as a liquid solution, and once dry, retroactively kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi contaminating the surface.
By modifying photocatalysts, the Dyphox team identified molecules that were capable of self-sanitising when exposed to light. Exposure to any form of light, whether natural or artificial, activates Dyphox’s antimicrobial effect when oxygen is present.
Based on photodynamics, the excitation of a photocatalyst by visible light (400–700 nm) leads to the creation of singlet oxygen by transferring the absorbed energy to ambient oxygen. The photodynamic effect induces fast and effective oxidative degeneration of the bacterial wall, and the bacterium quickly dies.
The singlet oxygen is large enough to be effective in killing germs but is not released into the surrounding environment. Dyphox is non-toxic to humans and the environment.

Don’t take our word for it, see what our clients have to say.
We were so Impressed with Rory's presentation that we instantly commissioned Healthy Surfaces to coat all the surfaces in our clinics with Dyphox.
Dyphox has been an incredible success for us, a game changer. Overnight we were confidently in a position to offer our staff and patients a layer of protection that they didn't expect. Together with the standard PE garments they wear daily, they now had a secondary barrier against the spread of Covid and other bacteria.
In our opinion, Dyphox is a super product that does exactly what it says it can do. MyMedical has no hesitation in highly recommending Dyphox to any Medical facility or indeed any industry! Please do not hesitate to contact me personally should anyone require further clarification."
Gerard Egan
CEO - MyMedical
We value the health of our residents, staff and visitors and made the easy decision to apply Dyphox to all high-touch points around our nursing home. Being able to kill germs in between our cleaning cycles is a serious game changer for us. Our residents deserve to live in the healthiest environment possible, this in turn provides a safer environment for our staff – which in my book is a big win! Win!
I would highly recommend getting in touch with Rory and his team in Healthy Surfaces – Not only does the end product provide the safest environment – the team worked almost un-noticeably, which allowed our residents to continue about their daily lives with virtually no disruption."
