A team of researchers at McMaster University has developed a self-cleaning surface that can repel all forms of bacteria, preventing the transfer of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and other dangerous bacteria in settings ranging from hospitals to kitchens.
The new plastic surface - a treated form of conventional transparent wrap - can be shrink-wrapped onto door handles, railings, IV stands and other surfaces that can be magnets for bacteria such as MRSA and C. difficile.
This is something that would be wonderful if it can be readily available. Hopefully it will go into production soon.
Another very useful post 2greys. You certainly know where to look to find these inspiring items.
Thank you 2greys. Sounds quite exciting. My one question from their statement ‘A drop of water or blood, for example, simply bounces away when it lands on the surface. The same is true for bacteria.’ would be where does this stuff bounce to?

ha ha, yeh, where?
Onto the coated floor? Where it keeps bouncing up and down because even the floor repels it?
COVID - an unusual route for infection
Did I just imagine it?
