PenGuards: Taking Action to Reduce the Spread of Infectious Diseases

The common flu virus is released into the air with every cough or sneeze. And the germs touch everything that people do – door handles, buttons, railings, phones – even pens. The fact that it can survive from two to eight hours makes the spread of germs hard to contain.

You touch it, then touch your mouth or nose and that virus is on its way to your lungs and you are on your way to being sick.

Besides washing your hands and getting a flu shot are there other ways to control the spread?

Many healthcare facilities, like hospitals, clinics and doctor’s offices, have adopted eSignature capture in an effort to streamline paper processes. Hundreds of thousands of patients are using signature pads and pens every day. Touching that pen becomes another way infectious disease, and the flu virus can be spread.

A new product designed specifically to reduce the spread of infectious disease is PenGuards. PenGuards, made of recyclable plastic, are intended to fit over your electronic signature capture pad pens. They are perfect for one-time use in the healthcare market and for health-conscious consumers.
