Part of the Kerr Dental portfolio, the Metrex infection prevention range has built a strong reputation in healthcare and dental environments for delivering reliable, fast-acting surface disinfection and hand hygiene solutions. For more than 30 years, Metrex has focused on helping healthcare professionals reduce cross-contamination and maintain safer clinical environments through practical, easy-to-use infection control products.
Today, the Kerr Metrex range is trusted in dental practices, hospitals, laboratories and medical facilities worldwide. The brand is particularly recognised for combining broad-spectrum efficacy with material compatibility, helping protect both patients and sensitive equipment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Metrex products such as CaviWipes and CaviCide gained further recognition after receiving EPA approval for effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2.
CaviWipes and CaviCide
At the centre of the range are CaviWipes and CaviCide, two of the most widely used surface disinfectants in dental and medical settings. CaviWipes are pre-saturated disinfectant wipes designed for quick, convenient cleaning and disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces, while CaviCide is the ready-to-use liquid disinfectant solution behind the wipe formulation. Known for fast contact times and broad-spectrum efficacy, the products are effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi and TB, making them ideal for high-touch clinical surfaces.
EmPower Foam
The range also includes EmPower Foam, an enzymatic foam cleaner developed for effective instrument pre-cleaning. Designed to help break down blood, tissue and organic debris before sterilisation, EmPower Foam supports efficient instrument reprocessing workflows while helping protect instruments during transport and holding times.
VioNexus and Alsoft
For hand hygiene, Metrex offers the VioNexus and Alsoft ranges. VioNexus antimicrobial soaps and hand hygiene products are formulated for frequent clinical use, helping maintain skin comfort while supporting infection prevention protocols. Alsoft provides a gentle, waterless hand sanitising solution designed for healthcare professionals who require effective hand hygiene without excessive drying of the skin.
Across its infection prevention portfolio, Kerr Metrex continues to focus on practical solutions that combine speed, efficacy and ease of use. From surface disinfectants and instrument cleaners to hand hygiene systems, the brand remains a trusted name in modern infection control for dental and healthcare professionals worldwide.
