THE POWER TO PREVENT AND CONTROL IN JUST ONE STEP The HealthySole ® PLUS uses the power of UVC light to disinfect the soles of footwear, deactivating over 99.5 % of the human coronavirus * and up to 99.99 % of pathogens known to cause HAIs ** in just 8 seconds. A recent CDC study*** showed 100 % of floor samples from non-patient care areas tested positive for COVID-19 and recommended all shoes be decontaminated before exiting COVID-19 care areas. As your facility considers how to “open up” in the days and weeks ahead, open up your IPC practices to include disinfecting footwear. Don’t give pathogens a free ride. www.healthysoleplus.com * CREM Co (Mississauga, ON): full study report found at www.HealthySolePlus.com ** MicroChem Laboratories (Round Rock, TX): full study report found at www.HealthySolePlus.com *** Center for Disease Control, Emerging Infectious Diseases https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0885_article Recognized by NEWSWEEK ® as a Top Infection Prevention and Control Product for 2020 WWW.HEALTHYSOLEPLUS.COM #HealthySole www.healthcarehygienemagazine.com • IP&C Special Edition June 2020 17
