Press Release: JB Medical Equipment to Launch IGL Titan on medical devices supplied to NSW Health, Australia: A Revolutionary Self-Disinfecting Coating for Enhanced Safety and Infection Control
28 February 2025
Sydney, Australia – Friday 28 February 2025 – JB Medical Equipment, a leading supplier of medical equipment in Australia, is excited to announce its latest breakthrough: the adoption of IGL Titan, a cutting-edge self-disinfecting coating from IGL Coatings, as part of its recent successful tender with NSW Health. This innovation will be applied to all medical devices supplied to NSW hospitals, setting a new standard for infection control and patient safety.
Following extensive research and a comprehensive review of available solutions, JB Medical Equipment selected IGL Titan as the most suitable product to meet the rigorous demands of healthcare settings. The decision was driven by IGL Titan’s proven efficacy, safety profile, and advanced nanotechnology, which collectively offer the best protection and outcomes for healthcare staff and patients.
Why IGL Titan Stands Out
IGL Titan utilises Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalytic nanotechnology, creating an active protective layer that:
- Destroys pathogens (viruses, bacteria, mould, and fungi)
- Offers continuous disinfection due to the photocatalytic reaction
- Is non-toxic, VOC-free, and eco-friendly
- Provides long-lasting protection for up to 10,000 scrub cycles
- Resistant to general commercial and household cleaners
- Is effective on a wide range of surfaces including glass, metal, plastic, vinyl, and fabric
This combination of benefits, validated through rigorous testing and documentation, positioned IGL Titan as the premier choice over alternative products.
IGL Titan will now be applied to high-touch medical equipment supplied to NSW hospitals and healthcare settings, including:
- Hospital Beds – Rails, headboards, and side panels
- Wheelchairs – Armrests, seats, and push handles
- Walking Frames and Rollators – Hand grips and frames
- Commodes and Bathroom Aids – Seats, frames, and handles
- Patient Transfer Equipment – Slings, lifters, and support surfaces
- IV Poles and Trolleys – Handles and adjustable components
- High Touch Pumps and Control Panels – For pressure care equipment
This proactive approach to infection control will significantly reduce the risk of cross-contamination and provide an additional layer of assurance to healthcare providers, patients, and their families.
A Commitment to Excellence and Innovation
“IGL Titan’s infection control is second to none, giving facilities a distinct advantage in protecting their visitors and patients from cross-infection”
With JB Medical Equipment’s focus on quality and innovation, combined with IGL Titan’s state-of-the-art technology, this launch marks a new era of infection control and peace of mind for healthcare facilities and beyond.
