Antimicrobial Living Aids

Understand why Tenura products are antimicrobial—how we achieve this and the added value and peace of mind antimicrobial daily living aids bring to everyday life.

Why Are Tenura Silicone Products Antimicrobial?

Tenura products are designed to support individuals in maintaining their independence safely. Hygiene is a critical factor, particularly for those with compromised immune systems or conditions that increase susceptibility to infections. That’s why we’ve incorporated antimicrobial technology into our silicone products.

1. Enhanced Hygiene Standards
   The antimicrobial properties in Tenura products actively inhibit the growth of microbes that can lead to unpleasant odors, stains, and potential health risks. This makes our products particularly suited for environments where cleanliness is essential, such as healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, and kitchens.
2. Prolonged Product Life
   By resisting the buildup of bacteria and mold, Tenura products maintain their appearance and functionality for longer. This ensures they remain effective, durable, and safe for prolonged use, providing excellent value for both individuals and professionals.
3. Suitable for Multiple Environments
   From hospitals and clinics to homes and care facilities, Tenura’s antimicrobial products are versatile and adaptable, offering hygienic solutions for a variety of applications.

How Are Tenura Products Antimicrobial?

The antimicrobial properties of Tenura products are achieved through advanced materials and manufacturing processes:

1. Incorporation of Antimicrobial Additives
   During the production of our silicone products, antimicrobial agents are infused directly into the material. These agents are evenly distributed throughout the silicone, ensuring their effectiveness over the product’s entire lifespan, even with frequent use or cleaning. In accordance with article 58 of the BPR, this article has been treated with a biocidal product. Silver nitrate (CAS 7761-88-8) has been added to create the Antimicrobial properties.
2. Mechanism of Action
   The antimicrobial agents in Tenura products work by disrupting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. By interfering with the cell functions of bacteria, mold, and fungi, these agents prevent the microbes from multiplying and forming colonies on the surface of the product.
3. Non-Toxic and Safe Materials
   Tenura products are made from high-quality, non-toxic silicone that is latex-free and safe for sensitive skin. The antimicrobial additives we use are carefully selected to ensure they are effective without compromising the product’s safety or comfort.
