According to Deb Group, the foam sanitizer is 1,000 times more effective than a sanitizer that kills 99.9 percent of germs. “In the context of hand hygiene, where as many as 10 million transient bacteria cells can be found on the end of just one finger, the extra ‘9s’ could prove critical in the prevention of transmitting potentially deadly infections,” a press release reads.
The foam was designed to be used without water, in areas where outbreaks are likely, such as in healthcare settings, cruise ships and the food industry.
The product is available in pump bottles, cartridges and manual or touch-free dispensers.
