[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1644791540857{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]December 22, 2021 – Surface Medical Inc. is pleased to announce that it is working with GermBlast to expand GermBlast’s service offerings to healthcare customers. By incorporating soft surface assessment and repair into their customer care program, GermBlast will save customers money while furthering their mandate to protect patient safety.
GermBlast helps healthcare facilities combat Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) with the GermBlast disinfection service for the patient environment and GermBlast Wash® for clinical equipment. GermBlast’s CIO, Wes Goldwater, said, “Surface Medical’s repair products and GermBlast’s disinfection and repair services reassure infection control preventionists and EVS personnel that their facility is well protected against the spread of HAIs. GermBlast Wash® is most effective when used on a surface that is intact so, when we repair a surface such as damaged mattress cover, we are doing the best job possible for the healthcare facilities we serve.”
Similarly, Surface Medical President, Iwain Lam, commented, “By incorporating surface inspection and repair into GermBlast’s arsenal of services, they can tell their customers that they are doing everything they can to protect patient safety. Think about it this way: when a treatment surface is damaged, it cannot be properly disinfected. This means that damaged equipment can contain dangerous pathogens that spread to other patients, increasing the risk of HAIs.” Thorough cleaning of the patient environment is crucial to ensuring patient safety. GermBlast’s cleaning and disinfection program, together with Surface Medical’s repair products, provide the best defense against HAIs.
