Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) remain a large threat to public safety and a costly problem to the healthcare system
1.7 Million HAI Instances in the US each year, resulting in 99,000 deaths1
HAIs cost over $31.5 Billion to the Healthcare industry, and they impact institution ratings and reimbursement2
The COVID-19 Hospital-Acquired infection rate is 12-15%3
1 in 31 US Hospital patients are treated for at least one HAI each day4
The Healthcare industry does not have a requirement for white coat cleanliness, yet they are covered in pathogens
58% of white coats are laundered less than once a month5
42% of white coats test positive for Gram-Negative bacteria6
Novel Coronavirus can remain viable for 72 hours on a variety of surfaces, including garments, shoes, and devices7
Many medical studies have shown that garments, shoes, and devices are likely vectors for pathogen transmission8
