Hand hygiene and infection control have always been top priorities in healthcare environments. That is why Seal Shield has been dedicated to developing innovative waterproof keyboards that can be easily sanitized to promote clean high-touch equipment and help prevent the spread of germs.
Our original Cleanwipe keyboard is a big hit, especially among dental practices looking for a flat, wipeable keyboard with a silicone cover that could handle frequent cleanings. But we knew we could make it even better.
After gathering feedback, we are excited to announce the launch of the new and improved Cleanwipe Pro keyboard 2022 HIMSS trade show. This next-generation keyboard builds upon the legacy of the original Cleanwipe while incorporating new features to meet the changing needs of our customers.
The Cleanwipe Pro represents Seal Shield’s continued commitment to enhancing hand hygiene by creating high-quality, waterproof keyboards designed for frequent cleaning and disinfection. In this blog post, we will highlight the key benefits and features of the Cleanwipe Pro that make it our most advanced washable keyboard yet.
The Original Cleanwipe Keyboard
Let’s take a walk down memory lane and chat about our classic Cleanwipe keyboards that hospitals and dental practices know and love. This dependable workhorse launched over 10 years ago as one of our original waterproof offerings. It features a flat silicone cover for easy cleaning. Just spray it down and wipe between patients! It is also available in wireless, Bluetooth, and USB connections.
It met the IP66 standard for withstanding spray and wipe cleaning. While the original Cleanwipe was washable, we saw room for improvement in both waterproofing and usability over time. Progress marches on!
The Next Generation: Introducing the Cleanwipe Pro!
After gathering user feedback, we are pumped to unveil the new and improved Cleanwipe Pro! This bad boy debuted at the 2022 HIMSS trade show.
Right off the bat, you will notice the sleek chiclet-style keys. Chiclet keyboards are the way to go! Not only do they look modern, but they also provide better tactile feedback while typing. Under the hood, the membrane sealing got upgraded based on the feedback from the original Cleanwipe to an IPX8 waterproof rating – even more impervious to spills and cleaning.
Other standout features:
– Magnetic USB connection directly to the keyboard to prevent against accidental pulls while the keyboard is being used.
– Compact size perfect for carts and small spaces.
– Three ergonomic tilt positions to reduce hand strain. Decline keyboard tilt which the Cleanwipe Pro has is more ergonomic for your wrist than the incline or neutral positions.
– Additional key fit or flat fit keyboard silicone cover available for easier quick cleaning.
Built with Waterproof and Washable Cleaning Features
While healthcare may have been our original inspiration, the versatile Cleanwipe Pro is ideal for any workspace where folks share equipment. Primarily, it is fully waterproof and washable – just rinse the keyboard in the sink or submerse it in water to fully clean the entire keyboard. But you can also spray it and wipe it down with harsh disinfectants like PDI wipes, Clorox Healthcare cleaning products, Diversey, or Bleach when needed between users. Its durable construction can handle repeat washings and chemical cleaners like a champ.
This makes it perfect for sterile environments like hospitals, long-term care facilities, dental offices, schools, shared workspaces, libraries, and more. Wherever cleanliness is important, the Cleanwipe Pro waterproof keyboard has your back. Despite being durable, it still looks professional enough to blend into clinical and office settings. We call that a win-win!
Customize It For Your Needs
Got specific needs? No problem! For healthcare settings, we offer an optional card reader mount to expand functionality. This lets nurses and workers easily tap their RFID cards to get easy access.
If you want an extra layer of protection, custom latex-free silicone keyboard covers are available in key fit or flat fit styles.
