Virkon Tablets

Virkon Soluble Tablets are now available for the first time. In addition to the usual packs of Virkon powder, ie. 50gm Sachets, 500gm squeeze bottles and 5Kg drums, the 5gm tablet provides a new and quick way to make up 500ml of 1% Virkon solution. The tablet replaces the 10gm soluble sachet and has two major advantages over it's predecessor. Firstly, it dissolves much quicker and in a much cleaner fashion, and secondly they are much easier to pop into the neck of a trigger spray container, which is the application we see as being the most popular for this kind pack form. A 500ml trigger spray bottle can conveniently be used to dispense the solution and is available to purchase.

The tablets are packed either 10 to a small pot or 50 to a larger tub, thereby offering a tub size to suit all needs. Virkon is still the ultimate high level surface disinfectant suitable for use on surfaces in healthcare, laboratory, food preparation and production, catering, residential, hotel, transport, emergency services and public environments.

Widest range of clinical usage

• VIRKON powder for the safe containment and disposal of blood and body fluid spills.
• VIRKON solution is suitable for all routine disinfection tasks whatever the infection threat.
• The combined cleaning and disinfection of all hard surfaces (walls, floors, trolleys, locker tops, laboratory benches, equipment exteriors, etc).
• The replacement of the aldehydes in the treatment of flexible endoscopes.
• General laboratory usage (discard jars, centrifuges, pipettes, etc).
• The routine decontamination of body fluid handling devices (renal dialysis machines, blood analysers, blood bank equipment, etc).

Maximum cost effectiveness

• Combines cleaning and disinfection - avoids the additional time and cost of seperate pre-cleaning.
• Reduces the range of disinfectant and cleaning products required giving savings in inventory and stock control.
• Simplifies staff training.
• Simplifies infection control procedures and policies - a major contribution to reducing the costs of hospital or laboratory-acquired infection.
