[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Screen Protectors are widely used on display monitors, touch screens, and other electronic devices to protect screens from being damaged. A high quality screen protector is made from a thin clear Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material that’s almost undetectable when installed. The best screen protector comes pre-cut for an exact fit and contains antimicrobial product protection to help reduce microbial growth that can lead to hospital acquired infections.

According to infectious disease expert Dr. Charles Gerba “We looked at touch screens in hospitals recently and found them to be heavily contaminated with organisms such as MRSA”. He went on to report “You might wipe them down quickly but I don’t think they get thoroughly decontaminated in anyway”. Infection Control Today (2012)

“Given the limitation of the damp cloth to eliminate all pathogens, especially C difficile, nonporous cases or covers for iPads and screen protectors may allow the use of disinfecting agents without directly exposing the device.” American Journal of Infection Control (2013)
