Everyone has heard how dirty our cellphones are, right? They are seven times dirtier than a toilet seat and, on average, a person touches their phone 2,600 times a day. When working in a healthcare setting, this becomes particularly problematic since healthcare workers also touch other small devices such as keyboards, tablets, stethoscopes, and badges all day long.
Having a robust Hand Hygiene Program helps curb the spread of disease, but healthcare workers continue to touch these potentially infected items multiple times a day. Stopping the spread of C-diff has always been a challenge in a healthcare setting, but now we also must contend with COVID-19. It becomes even more important to take the necessary extra steps to augment your hand hygiene program, beyond simply handwashing.
UVC disinfection is now the gold standard for killing viruses that include C diff and COVID-19. Mobile UVC units clean OR surfaces between procedures, and UVC technology is also used in many air purification systems employed in healthcare facilities. Hospitals are also starting to adopt UVC to disinfect those small handheld devices that are germ-ridden. Enter Vioguard’s Cubby+, a cost-effective solution that has proven efficacy in sanitizing these tricky handheld devices.
