The application and convenience of medical UV disinfection
In recent years, disinfection and sterilization have become a hot topic, especially in some public places such as subways, buses and hospitals. Especially as hospitals are places where influenza viruses gather, how can we better carry out environmental and surface sterilization?

With the continuous advancement of technology, uv sterilization technology has be to come into the public eye. Compared with traditional disinfection and sterilization methods, it is convenience, speed and high sterilization rate have led to an increasing demand for uv sterilization modules.
Uv sterilization and disinfection is a non-contact, all-space sterilization method with good effect and no residue. UV is electromagnetic wave invisible to the naked eye, located outside the purple end of the visible light spectrum, hence the name uv. Uv disinfection mainly use UV-C LED sterilization, that is, UV-C light can break the double helix chain of DNA, thereby achieving the inactivation of bacteria and viruses.

The use of medical UV lamps
The penetrating power of UV rays in the air is generally 3 to 5 meters. Therefore, when in use, it should be as close as possible to the area that needs sterilization. For instance, in the center of the room or in areas prone to bacterial growth.
When using uv lamps for disinfection, it is important to ensure that no one stays in the room. When entering or leaving the room, the power of the UV lamp should be turned off to shorten the time spent indoors and avoid exposure to UV light. The disinfection principles of the wall-mounted or mobile ultraviolet air disinfection machines frequently used in clinical practice nowadays also include the disinfection of UV lamps of specific wavelengths, along with technologies such as filtration, electrostatic adsorption, and circulating air.
UVWORKS Qingdao Yingguang uv disinfection products mainly include a series of products such as air sterilization, surface sterilization, water sterilization, and medical sterilization. The company focuses on the research of ultraviolet sterilization applications. After years of in-depth development in the ultraviolet industry, the company has obtained multiple national invention and utility model patents. At present, a variety of sterilization module products have been launched on the market.
