UVC Lamps Help Hospitals with Effective Sterilization

 

Hospitals provide critical care to people with serious illness whether emergency treatment, diagnostic services, or ongoing care for chronic illness.  Due to the nature of the typical patient, hospitals must be vigilant in sterilizing surfaces and protecting patients from infection.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that on any given day an estimated one out of every 31 patients in the U.S. contract a Healthcare Acquired Infection (HAI) from their stay in a hospital. 

Patients who enter a room following a patient that had an infection such as the influenza virus and even drug resistant superbugs like MRSA run a high risk of contracting an HAI.  

UV Lamps in HVAC and Air Purification Systems

Many illnesses can be transmitted through airborne particles such as tuberculosis and many influenza viruses.  UVC lamps in air purification systems play an important role in sterilizing the air making it healthier for patients and staff.  UV lamps can be installed in upper room UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) systems or directly into HVAC systems for automatic purification.  Some systems can be designed to come on when a patient leaves the restroom, for example, while others are always working behind the scenes in furnaces and AC units.  

UVC Germicidal Lamps for Surface Sterilization

UVC lamps provide highly effective sterilization in air, water, and surface sterilization systems.  There are many ways to reap the benefits of surface sterilization with systems like UVC robots and UVC lamps that directly disinfect critical areas like surgical rooms.  UVC lamps are also used to disinfect and keep surgical equipment clean.  UVC robots are being deployed in hospitals as well as other public places to work autonomously with high rates of efficacy.

Phototherapy is also referred to as light therapy and is proven to be successful treating many medical conditions. Ultraviolet (UV) lamps are prescribed to patients with various ailments including many skin conditions such as acne, eczema, jaundice, vitiligo and psoriasis. Light therapy is also used to treat mood disorders such as sleep disorders, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and depression.

It is important to receive phototherapy under the care of a physician and to use the right type of phototherapy lamp.  Not all lamps are made the same and the right type of UV emission is necessary to provide the proper treatment for health conditions. Using the wrong type of lamp could even make symptoms worse.  The right type of phototherapy lamp used under the care of a physician is proven to provide relief to many patients suffering from these many conditions.

UVA and UVB Phototherapy Lamps Treat Psoriasis

Ultraviolet radiation is measured by wavelengths and divided into three categories of UVA, UVB and UVC light.  Ultraviolet emissions in the UVB range is used to treat psoriasis and is helpful in slowing down cell production of new skin, which allows skin cells to heal. UVA light therapy may also be helpful although must be prescribed with a medication called psoralen which helps the skin to absorb the UVA emissions.  This treatment is referred to as PUVA treatment for psoriasis. Psoriasis patients may expect to see relief from phototherapy in as little as a few weeks to a few months.
