AWHONN Convention 2025 Recap: Empowering Safer NICUs Through Innovating Solutions
The Seal Shield team was thrilled to connect with the inspiring community of neonatal care professionals at this year’s AWHONN Convention in Orlando, FL. With attendees coming from NICUs and L&Ds across the country, we were energized by the shared commitment to protecting the most vulnerable patients through smarter infection control.
From the moment the event opened, our booth drew steady engagement. Attendees were drawn to Seal Shield’s lineup of purpose-built solutions designed for high-touch environments.
CleanSlate UV Resonated at the AWHONN Convention
Hands down, the standout product at AWHONN 2025 was the CleanSlate UV sanitization system. Visitors loved how intuitive and quick the system is; a 20-second cycle harnessing the power of UV light to sanitize phones, tablets, Apple watches, and other personal devices. CleanSlate UV’s touch-free removal allows users to retrieve their devices without worrying about re-contamination—a feature that excited attendees after testing the system for themselves.
More importantly, CleanSlate UV aligns perfectly with NICU infection prevention protocols. The system’s 99.9995% efficacy against dangerous pathogens like C. diff and MRSA ensures families and visitors can sanitize devices before entering sensitive areas. Attendees saw this as the missing piece in their cross-contamination prevention strategies and easily implementable into hand washing stations and nurses stations for easy sanitization not only for staff but for visitors as well.
ElectroClave: Fleet Management Meets Infection Control
Like CleanSlate, the ElectroClave is another UV-C sanitization system that intrigued attendees. The UV sanitizer helps teams track, manage, and maintain their shared devices. NICU leaders appreciated how its usage tracking and audit logs provide clear compliance documentation while helping IT teams monitor device readiness.
Several conversations centered on ElectroClave being engineered for staff to securely store and maintain shared electronic devices. Utilizing this intelligent maintenance system permits consistent sanitization cycles while also preventing workflow disruptions.
The Seal Silk Pro: A Cleanable, Mechanical Keyboard for NICUs
Attendees also got hands-on with the Seal Silk Pro™ mechanical keyboard, a fully sealed, washable keyboard that’s built for durability and typing comfort. NICU staff experienced its responsive tactile keys and full silicone wrap, which can withstand frequent exposure to harsh disinfectants used in medical environments. Different from the standard keyboards they’re accustomed to, attendees were wowed by the easy typeface and cleaning simplicity!
Take the Next Step in Elevating Neonatal Care
AWHONN 2025 gave us the opportunity to hear directly from the people shaping the future of neonatal care. The feedback we received reaffirms our mission to support infection prevention through effective, easy to use tools. Protecting infant patients, supporting families, enabling staff efficiency—Seal Shield is proud to design solutions that rise to the challenge.
