ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- Sani-Seat, a 100 percent hands-free hygienic toilet seat
system, has reached 3,000 placements within the United States. Doctors offices,
hospitals, restaurants, casinos, plus government, educational and other public
facilities are realizing the health and economic benefits of providing hands-
free, hygiene friendly restrooms for their customers and employees.
"Since most bathroom contact takes place at the toilet seat, it's only
natural that organizations adopt a better solution than paper protection,
which provides no protection at all," explains Jerold Wagenheim, vice
president of North American Hygiene, Inc. "The Sani-Seat's automated moving
plastic cover eliminates and protects users from the majority of germs and
bacteria that would normally be found on a traditional public toilet seat."
Along with creating a hands-free sanitary restroom experience for the
user, Sani-Seat also delivers to facility managers a cost effective solution
to the "messy bathroom" syndrome. While saving money on wasted water and
paper products, the Sani-Seat also reduces the plumbing problems normally
found in public restrooms.
Through its international network of dealers, North American Hygiene, Inc. exclusively supplies and services the Sani-Seat hands-free hygienic
toilet seat protection system. With the simple wave of a hand, the Sani-Seat
presents a fresh, clean, untouched hygienic surface for each use. Sani-Seat
is a complete and easy replacement for any existing standard toilet seat,
making installation quick and simple.
