According to University of North Carolina professor, Dr. William Rutala, "There is increasing evidence to support the contribution of the environment to disease transmission, and that we pick up pathogens at the same level by touching the environment as we do by touching the patient."
"Our healthcare customers are using more touch screen devices and they are demanding solutions which not only protect those products from scratches, but also from harmful bacteria and viruses," states Seal Shield CEO, Bradley Whitchurch. "SEAL SHIELDS™ allow practitioners to wash and disinfect their touch screen devices, protecting the healthcare workers and their patients from infection."
