Xenex Changes Name to Xenex Disinfection Services

Xenex Healthcare Services announces it has changed its name to Xenex Disinfection Services.

We changed the company name to better describe our product offering and company strategy, says Morris Miller, CEO of Xenex. The most important step in infection control begins with a clean environment and thats what Xenexs room disinfection system accomplishes. In just 5 to 10 minutes per room, our portable robot can eliminate the deadly microorganisms and superbugs that cause infections. We have conclusive proof that hospitals utilizing Xenexs room disinfection system are experiencing a cleaner and therefore a safer environment.

Founded in 2008, Xenex has quickly become one of the leaders in the room disinfection industry. Innovative hospitals throughout the U.S. are using Xenexs patented, pulsed xenon UV light room disinfection system to quickly destroy viruses, bacteria and bacterial spores in the patient environment without contact or chemicals. Uniquely designed for ease of use and portability, a hospitals environmental services staff can operate the Xenex device without disrupting hospital operations. A Xenex device can disinfect over thirty (30) rooms per day at a cost of approximately $3 per room, allowing hospitals to use the system continuously to reduce contamination levels throughout their facilities.
