The Healthcare Challenge

Hospital-Acquired Infections Cost Lives and Billions

HAIs affect approximately 1 in 31 hospital patients on any given day, costing the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $28.4 billion annually. Floors are a documented reservoir for pathogenic organisms, yet conventional carpet treatments degrade with every cleaning cycle.

BioStrand™ is a capital investment that delivers measurably safer flooring through a non-chemical, permanent mechanism — not another line item in your recurring maintenance budget.

  • Graphene nanofins mechanically destroy bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms on contact
  • Non-chemical mechanism eliminates antimicrobial resistance risk
  • No reapplication, no added chemicals, no new cleaning protocols
  • ASTM E2180 and ISO 22196 certified antimicrobial performance
  • 50% greater crush resistance extends carpet life in high-traffic corridors
  • Supports LEED v4.1 and WELL Building Standard v2 credits
  • 15-year limited commercial warranty covering antimicrobial efficacy
  • GPO-ready procurement through Vizient, Premier, and HealthTrust
For Facilities Directors & Infection Control Managers

One Infrastructure Upgrade. Three Problems Solved.

1

Reduce HAI Risk

Permanent pathogen destruction at the fiber level means floors are continuously antimicrobial — between cleanings, overnight, and during high-traffic periods.

2

Satisfy Compliance

Every installation includes ASTM/ISO certification data and documentation supporting Joint Commission and state regulatory inspection readiness.

3

Lower Total Cost

Eliminate recurring antimicrobial spray programs and reduce replacement frequency. TCO parity with standard carpet is reached within 3.5 to 4 years.

This calculator provides estimates for comparison purposes. Actual costs vary by region, vendor, and facility. Standard carpet priced at $30/sq. yd.; BioStrand at $42/sq. yd. (40% premium). BioStrand replacement cycle is 50% longer than standard carpet due to superior crush resistance. Contact a Mohawk representative for a customized analysis.
