According to studies done by several major universities, computer keyboards can be infected with as many as ten different types of bacteria, all of which can be harmful and can lead to cross contamination infection. Each year more than a million patients will contract some type of infection during a hospital stay. Nearly ten percent of these patients will die as direct cause of a contracted infection.

Healthcare, more and more is relying on computer technology to better treat patients. This very technology is also a threat to patient wellness during hospital visits. Healthcare professionals use shared workstation to access and input data for electronic medical records. This shared workstation environment, with many users typing away 24 hours a day, seven days a week leads to a very contaminated keyboard, which is probably, after their stethoscope the second most important tool they use throughout the course of each shift.

Keeping these keyboards clean is an absolute imperative. While it does not protect product users against disease causing microbes. IONARMOUR® is a product enhancement that is specially designed to protect the keyboard itself from microorganisms. It combines breakthrough technology with natural antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mildew, and other microbes on the keyboard surfaces.

IONARMOUR® antimicrobial protection is powered by silver ions, which have been used as an effective antimicrobial material in its ionic form for centuries. They are embedded by a patent-pending antimicrobial embedding technology unique to IONARMOUR® which enables high antimicrobial efficacy.

Long Lasting Protection

San-a-Key® antimicrobial keyboards with IONARMOUR® protection stay cleaner, longer by inhibiting microbial growth on the keyboard surfaces. The continuous antimicrobial protection helps to prevent the proliferation of bacteria on the keyboard surfaces which results in keyboard contamination. Durability studies have shown that the antimicrobial effect can last as long as 8 years under normal use and with regular cleaning, providing naturally-safe antimicrobial silver ions over the lifetime of the keyboards. IONARMOUR® uses only EPA-registered antimicrobial ingredients.
