Abstract: ProteCoat™: Non-toxic antimicrobial coating for safer hospitals and public spaces ProteCoat™ is a non-toxic antimicrobial coating technology developed by Reactive Surfaces aimed at reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals and public spaces. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain one of the most persistent and costly challenges in global medicine. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 7–10% of hospitalized patients worldwide acquire at least one nosocomial infection, with multidrug-resistant pathogens posing an increasing risk. High-touch surfaces, such as bed rails, counters, touchscreens, and door handles, play a significant role in the environmental transmission of infectious microbes, including Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridioides difficile, and even enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
