This spring, Seal Shield was proud to participate in two of the most important infection prevention events in North America: APIC Annual Conference in Nashville and the IPAC Canada National Conference in Toronto and the. Both events provided valuable opportunities to connect with infection prevention professionals, healthcare leaders, and frontline staff focused on improving patient safety through effective cleaning and disinfection practices.
Interactive UV Disinfection Demonstrations
At both the IPAC Canada National Conference and the APIC Annual Conference, attendees experienced Seal Shield’s innovative UV disinfection solutions firsthand. Visitors had the opportunity to sanitize their smartphones using the CleanSlate UV Rapid Sanitizer and while also exploring Seal Shield’s complete portfolio of UV technologies including the ElectroClave and Vioguard Cubby. All these solutions are designed to reduce contamination across healthcare environments.
The live demonstrations highlighted how fast, effective UV-C disinfection can help address contamination risks associated with high-touch devices and shared equipment. These hands-on experiences sparked valuable conversations around strengthening infection prevention protocols, improving workflow efficiency, and providing healthcare facilities with practical, chemical-free disinfection solutions for everyday use.
Chemical Compatibility Remains a Key Differentiator
A major topic of discussion at both conferences was the growing need for technology that can withstand frequent and aggressive cleaning regimens. Healthcare professionals were particularly interested in Seal Shield’s fully washable keyboards and mice, which are engineered for compatibility with major medical-grade disinfectants commonly used in healthcare facilities.
Attendees learned how Seal Shield products are designed to maintain performance and durability despite repeated exposure to disinfecting agents, helping healthcare organizations support compliance with cleaning protocols without compromising equipment longevity.

Introducing Advanced Surface Technology
Another highlight at both events was Seal Shield’s latest surface technology innovation. Visitors were able to see firsthand how the new design enhances cleanability by providing improved surface coverage during the disinfection process.
This new surface technology directly addresses one of healthcare’s most persistent challenges: ineffective disinfectant coverage. Traditional surfaces can cause cleaning solutions to bead and streak, limiting contact with the surface and reducing overall effectiveness. Seal Shield Surface™ is engineered to eliminate these issues, helping disinfectants spread more evenly and perform as intended.
By eliminating streaking and beading, Seal Shield Surface™ enables:
- Up to 10x greater chemical coverage
- Improved dwell times required by disinfectant IFUs
- More consistent and effective disinfection outcomes
Throughout the conferences, attendees were impressed by the live demonstrations showcasing how easily disinfectants spread across Seal Shield Surface™ compared to conventional materials. The visual difference in coverage generated significant interest among infection prevention professionals seeking ways to improve environmental hygiene practices.
For infection prevention teams, Seal Shield Surface™ represents a fundamental shift—from simply applying disinfectants to optimizing how they perform. By minimizing difficult-to-clean areas and optimizing surface accessibility, the technology helps environmental services teams and healthcare staff achieve more effective cleaning outcomes while supporting infection prevention best practices.
Advancing Infection Prevention Through Innovation
Both APIC and IPAC Canada reinforced the healthcare industry’s continued focus on practical, evidence-based solutions that help reduce infection risks and improve patient safety. Seal Shield was honored to engage with infection prevention professionals from across North America and demonstrate how innovative technologies can support cleaner, safer healthcare environments.
We would like to thank everyone who visited the Seal Shield booths in Nashville and Toronto. The conversations, feedback, and shared commitment to infection prevention continue to drive our mission of delivering durable, cleanable technology solutions for healthcare facilities worldwide.
We look forward to continuing these discussions and showcasing new innovations at future industry events.
