Germ-Fighting Screen Protector Defends Healthcare Facilities

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 07 Dec 2015
An innovative overlay film reduces germs and protects the display surfaces of mobile devices and stationary computers in healthcare environments.

NuShield Triple A film offers continuous antiglare, antimicrobial, and anti-fingerprint protection to inhibit the growth of germs on all terminals and touch display surfaces used by healthcare facilities for patient monitoring and electronic documentation systems. More...
Available for any device with a liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diode (LED), or plasma screens up to assize of 80 inch diagonal, NuShield Triple A currently supports over 12,000 different devices, including televisions, computer monitors, laptops, tablets, telephone displays, thermostats, control panels, and handheld devices.

Properties of the protective shield include resistance to abrasion and erosion by harsh chemical solvents, without degrading inherent antimicrobial protection; physical protection and preservation of the devices; an antiglare feature that prevents transmission and reflection of 99% of ultraviolet B (UVB) light from reaching the user's eyes, which could cause increased eye strain and computer vision syndrome; and a slightly tacky silicone rubber adhesive backing that is easily applied and removed and does not trap air.

In laboratory tests, Triple A showed a wide antibacterial spectrum and heat resistance. When tested against colon bacillus and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, the film's inorganic coating showed a germicidal reduction rate of 99% over a 24 hour period. NuShield Triple A film is a product of NuShield (Newton, PA, USA), and can be cleaned with solvent, bleach, rubbing alcohol, dilute alkalis, esters, and other disinfectants to reduce germs on the screen, and will not dilute its antimicrobial properties.
