DIFFICIL-S® has been independently tested by NHS laboratories (City Hospital, Birmingham) and has been proven to exceed BS EN standards for Medical Area Disinfection.
The active ingredient of DIFFICIL-S® is chlorine dioxide, present as a disssolved gas in solution. As such, spore penetration is readily achieved to enable the destruction of the organism's internal chemical structure.
