Anti microbial radiator
April 1st 2006

Jaga has launched a heating solution that works actively to prevent harmful bacteria from reproducing on its surface.

Specifically designed for healthcare locations, the Maxi LST anti-microbial is thought to be the first radiator to combat hospital acquired infections such as MRSA.

The Maxi LST anti-microbial works on contact: active silver ions in the coating disrupt the key cell functions, stopping the microbe from operating, growing or reproducing.

According to Phil Marris, director and general manager of Jaga Heating Products, the antimicrobial radiator is "an exciting and ground breaking addition to the Jaga range that will not only provide efficient heating, but by making hospitals cleaner and safer environments, will keep the dramatic MRSA figures from rising any further". According to the Office of National Statistics, 15% of reported MRSA cases results in death with the number of deaths doubling every three years.
