Careousel Pill dispensers incorporate BioCote, a silver ion technology to protect against harmful microbes.
BioCote® technology makes the dispenser inherently more hygienic and addresses a potential problem within carousel medication delivery: cross contamination. Crucially, the devices are now easier to keep hygienically clean for the patients, their family and visiting carers, plus pharmacists and their staff who are all regularly handling the device.
The new dispensers have demonstrated reductions of over 99.9%, and set the bar even higher for the medication management market.
