Bondtech Corporation Fights Ebola

  Somerset, KY - As the Ebola virus gains more and more attention overseas and throughout the US, medical facilities are scrambling for a way to take extra precautions in an attempt to keep the deadly virus at bay. Just last week, a Liberians man traveled through Brussels and Washington before finally being diagnosed with the Ebola virus in Dallas. He died from the virus shortly after, sparking even more national concern.

  "There may be a small outbreak because he did walk around with symptoms," said an infectious disease expert, Debra Spicehandler, at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, NY. "So we may see a few more cases related to him." The CDC highlights the importance of intense sterilization and precautions to prevent the virus from spreading any further.

  Now, the President of Bondtech Corporation, Elsa J. Brown, stated that the outbreak of Ebola is quite alarming. “We are all at risk here - and we at Bondtech believe that aggressive methods should be put in place to stop this horrible virus from spreading into our neighborhood.”

  In emergency situations, many hospitals and health facilities have protocols to follow, regarding the isolation and treatment of the infected patient. They have personal protective equipment, restrictions of visitation and the implementations of infections control measures, however, once their medical waste is disposed of, it needs to be handled and disposed of properly. That’s where Bondtech Corporation feels that they can help in a big way.

  Bondtech is the world’s leader in the supply of autoclave systems. These autoclaves are used for the treatment of infectious waste, including the Ebola virus. They feel that right now, more than ever, they have a civil obligation to present some ideas regarding the proper implementation of infectious control. Knowledge is power, and the right education in medical waste disposal could mean the difference in creating a healthy establishment. Bondtech stresses the importance proper cleaning, segregation of all stained sheets, clothing, gauze, syringes and sterilization of medical instruments. Without the right sterilization, virus transmission can continue and most likely amplify an outbreak. Recently, some top experts have said that the Ebola virus is perhaps more easily spread than we think, so it’s now that Bondtech is coming forward with some critical tips to saying safe. Any hospital or medical care facility who has the ability to treat Ebola virus patients – or patients of other highly contagious or infectious diseases - should seriously consider autoclaving their medical waste to prevent the spreading of contagions.

  “Ebola is not spread through the air.” Said a spokesperson for the CDC, who then went on to explain that the deadly virus is actually spread though bodily fluids or direct contact. This means that clothing, medical utensils and any object that comes in contact with an infected patient needs to be highly sterilized. “Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment)” The CDC goes on to stress the importance of virus prevention in hospitals. “Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures.”
