Preventing the Spread of Bacteria...By Design

Recent statistics show that approximately 90,000 people die each year from nosocomial (hospital-born) infections. What you may not know is that there are revolutionary products available to reduce the spread of bacteria, not only in healthcare facilities, but schools, offices and homes as well. I’ve been following several of these products over the years and don’t understand why they are not used more extensively. It’s understandable that even though there is a hospital boom, budgets are tighter due to the poor economy. But does that outweigh the cost of lives and, from a business standpoint, the legal ramifications?
