Seal Shield develops, manufactures, and sells the most complete family of healthcare infection control products for hospitals and the home. In February 2007, Seal Shield introduced the fully submersible, dishwasher safe keyboard and mouse. Further development of the company's Patent Pending waterproof electronics technologies has resulted in additional washable input devices including dishwasher safe keyboards, mice, TV remotes, cell phones and other advanced washable, antimicrobial solutions for a wide range of applications.

Seal Shield utilizes Silver Seal Protection in its own medical input devices and also provides the Silver Seal Protection and implementation consulting to third party manufacturers for incorporation in medical devices and consumer products worldwide. Seal Shield's product road map calls for further development of its family of infection control medical devices, expansion of the company's antimicrobial business, and the marketing of a complete line of superior disinfectant and sanitizer products.
The rapid increase in cross contamination infections is the most critical issue facing healthcare today. In the United States alone, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that one out of every twenty hospital patients gets an infection or two million people per year. Of the two million, close to 100,000 people die each year, ranking hospital acquired infections (HAIs) as the fourth largest killer in the United States, causing as many deaths as AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined. According to the CDC, the cost to treat these infections is as much as $57,000.00 per incident or up to $45 Billion, nationally. Recently, Insurance and Medicare announced they will no longer reimburse hospitals for the cost of HAIs. As a result, healthcare organizations worldwide have been forced to bear these expenses. Today, hospitals are scrambling to implement cost effective infection control products and procedures that can help mitigate the spread of these deadly bacteria and viruses. Numerous independent studies have been conducted to determine the cause of increased hospital infection rates. Studies confirm that common touch surfaces are a major cross contamination point for the spread of infectious pathogens and that untreated, bacteria can survive on a hard surface for up to seven days. Viruses can survive even longer. Direct contact medical equipment, input devices and other hard to clean surfaces pose a significant challenge to infection control efforts. A 2005 University of Arizona study reported that computer keyboards, for example, harbor up to 400 times more microbial bacteria that the average toilet seat. Studies performed at the University of North Carolina discovered that up to 25% of hospital keyboards harbor the Super Bug- MRSA, but daily disinfecting of the keyboards could reduce the risk of cross contamination. Recently, global concerns over the spread of deadly H1N1 virus, Norovirus, MRSA and others have led to greater awareness as to the importance of effective infection control in hospitals and the home.
