"The InhibX products not only help resist cross-contamination, but the child-friendly Captain InhibX design also reinforces to parents that the pediatricians office is taking every precaution to protect their patients from germs."
The pediatric table paper and gowns feature a free set of Captain InhibX temporary tattoos in every case for a limited time, providing another opportunity for caregivers to reinforce other germ-prevention techniques with kids like proper handwashing.
