GOLDEN, Colo. -- Meritech, Inc., a division of Resurgent Health and Medical and a leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced today the company has experienced growth in all areas including new office space, additional sales and service staff, and many new customers. Meritech has worked aggressively with industries throughout the United States to promote and encourage hand hygiene and infection control with its CleanTech touchless system.
The CleanTech touchless system performs a fully-automated 12-second wash, sanitize and rinse cycle. Using Meritech’s proprietary chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) sanitizing solution, the single cycle is designed to remove more than 99.9 percent of pathogens and continues to kill germs for up to six hours. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)- certified CHG-based sanitizer contains mild skin conditioners to continuously improve skin health while removing dangerous germs.
"For the past 20 years, we have enjoyed great success in the food processing industry and are pleased to expand our growth and reach into other market areas including hospitals, medical facilities, restaurants and hospitality,” says Jim Glenn, CEO of Meritech. “We are working with industries throughout the country to encourage zero tolerance for lapses in hand hygiene with our CleanTech systems. The most important thing you can do in any public place is wash your hands. With the spread of MRSA and other illnesses, it is critical to teach and educate about proper handwashing.”
The system further boosts compliance by ensuring a pleasant, uniform handwash using high-pressure water jets that perform a consistent wash-and-sanitize cycle every time the machines are used.
