UVC Light: A Safer Alternative for Reducing Surgical Site Infections

UVC Light: A Safer Alternative for Reducing Surgical Site Infections

Key Findings:

  1. Impact of 254-nm UVC:

    • Induces significant DNA damage in microorganisms and human cells, with marked CPD formation in mammalian cells.
    • Chronic exposure causes sunburn, skin desquamation, hyperplasia, and intercellular edema in mice.
  2. Effectiveness and Safety of 222-nm UVC:

    • Demonstrates bactericidal properties without inducing mutagenic or cytotoxic DNA damage in mammalian cells, even with chronic exposure.
    • Detected CPDs are limited to the hyperkeratotic stratum corneum (superficial skin layer).
  3. Clinical Relevance:

    • 222-nm UVC emerges as a safer alternative to 254-nm UVC for reducing surgical site infections (SSIs).
    • Offers promising applications in healthcare, minimizing risks for patients and hospital staff.

This study reinforces 222-nm UVC as a viable, human-safe tool for continuous infection control in surgical and hospital environments.
