Learn More about CaviCide™ & CaviWipes™
CaviCide is a convenient, ready-to-use, intermediate-level disinfectant which is effective against TB, HBV, HCV, HIV, viruses (hydrophilic and lipophilic), bacteria (including MRSA and VRE) and fungi. It can be used in all areas of the facility including ICU, operating rooms, isolation rooms, patient care areas and laboratories. When used as directed, it will also effectively clean and decontaminate critical and semi-critical instrumentation. CaviCide does the job of three products, thus saving money by reducing repetitive inventory and time.
CaviCide is for use on hard non-porous surfaces. It is perfect for cleaning and decontamination of environmental and medical device surfaces.
CaviWipes contain convenient, durable, non-woven, nonabrasive disposable towelettes pre-saturated with CaviCide surface disinfectant decontaminant cleaner. They’re sturdy towelettes that will not bunch up during use and offer superior surface contact and better fluid capacity than other competitive wipes.
