“The average keyboard harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.”
Dr. Charles Gerba
University of Arizona
“All computer keyboards in patient care areas should be routinely disinfected every day.”
Dr. William A. Rutala
University of North Carolina
This year over 2 million patients will contract an infection while in a US hospital, and over 100,000 die from these infections each year. To complicate matters, a strain of antibiotic resistant staph infection, MRSA, has emerged in communities worldwide.
Increased dependence on computer technology in patient care rooms and even operating rooms where open wounds are prime targets for such bacteria means these devices can be a major source of cross-contamination infections. A study reported at the American Society for Microbiology found that MRSA can survive on computer keyboards for up to 6 weeks. While cleaning is essential, prevention is even better!
Only SILVER SEAL™ Keyboards are WASHABLE and ANTIMICROBIAL. SILVER SEAL™ Keyboards are manufactured using the exclusive SEAL SHIELD™ waterproofing technology (Patent Pending). SEAL SHIELD™ technology means that the SILVER SEAL™ Keyboards are fully submersible and dishwasher safe. The SILVER SEAL™ Keyboards can be cleaned and disinfected in whatever manner your cleaning protocols require. Unlike other washable solutions, however, the SILVER SEAL™ Keyboards are manufactured using SILVER SEAL™Antimicrobial plastic. The antimicrobial plastic inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and protects against cross-contamination between washings.
The images above demonstrate this quite effectively. The image on the far left shows the amount of staph infection-causing bacteria that has grown in a 24-hour period on an untreated surface compared to the amount of growth on a SILVER SEAL™ surface (none). Silver Seal’s unique application of this technology introduces a new era in infection control as applied to computer input devices.
