The unique SteriTouch antimicrobial keyboard covers will not only protect the keyboard and allow it to be cleaned and decontaminated in-situ, but will also prevent bacterial and fungal growth in between cleaning cycles.
Clinical studies have shown that keyboards represent a significant cross contamination hazard, acting as bacterial reservoirs, that are hard to clean without permanent damage to the device.
The SteriTouch keyboard covers are manufactured using vacuum forming technology, utilizing a mould manufactured from a sample of the original keyboard, and thus achieving a key hugging unnoticeable fit.
Formed from extremely robust yet very thin antimicrobial polyurethane material and employing their own antimicrobial silver based additive, the cover will provide 24/7 protection from bacterial contamination for many years.The cleaning of the cover couldn't be easier, as cleaning chemicals such as detergents, alcohol and chlorine solutions have no ill effect on the polyurethane, whilst the adhesive fitment onto the bottom of the keyboard stops any fluid ingress into casing joints.
With moulds for 1500 keyboard types, most customers needs can easily be met with a stock product.
In the rare instance that a mould isn't in stock, tooling can usually be made relatively quickly.
Production capabilities are not limited solely to keyboard covers, almost any device can have an antimicrobial cover manufactured by this method.

SteriTouch, an antimicrobial technology specialist established in 2003, has developed a clear polyurethane cover for keyboards to help prevent contamination risks in dentist’s clinics.
The covers are manufactured using a highly resilient PU film, which is able to withstand harsh cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, including detergents, alcohol and chlorine solution.
The film incorporates SteriTouch antimicrobial masterbatch to ensure continuous antimicrobial protection. The PU film, manufactured by a vacuum-forming process, uses a mould made directly from a sample of the keyboard.
Based on ionic silver technology, SteriTouch is effective against a broad range of harmful organisms, including MRSA, E. Coli, Pseudomonas and Salmonella. SteriTouch is incorporated into the film at the point of extrusion to provide long lasting antimicrobial properties.

The innovative clear polymer cover from SteriTouch® has been developed to provide an effective yet economical solution to this problem. The covers can be supplied for most keyboard types and are very easy to fit.
The covers are manufactured from a highly resilient polyurethane film, which is able to withstand harsh cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, including detergents, alcohol and chlorine solution. Even with regular cleaning, the cover will last for many years. The film incorporates SteriTouch® antimicrobial masterbatch, ensuring the covers will provide continuous antimicrobial protection.
The polyurethane film is manufactured by a vacuum forming process, using a mould made directly from a sample of the keyboard. The covers are such an accurate fit that they are quite often referred to as keyboard gloves or keyboard skins. While they may take a short while to get used to, SteriTouch® has had excellent feedback from single finger and touch typists alike.
Nick Corlett, SteriTouch® Director, said: “The demand for the SteriTouch keyboard covers has grown steadily since we launched them in 2006, but we’ve seen a real surge in interest since the beginning of this year. We now supply most UK NHS Trusts and a huge number of dental surgeries.
“The main purpose of the cover is to protect the keyboard and enable straightforward cleaning and disinfection, but they also have the unique additional benefit of SteriTouch, which is incorporated into the film at the point of extrusion. This provides long lasting antimicrobial properties which will work continually to reduce the growth of bacteria and mould. Unlike washable keyboards, the covers allow the keyboard to be cleaned without disconnecting it from the PC and taking it to a sink, which is obviously a huge advantage. In fact, we’re frequently asked to supply covers for washable keyboards.
“Based on ionic silver technology, SteriTouch is effective against a broad range of harmful organisms, including MRSA, E. Coli, Pseudomonas and Salmonella. It’s not intended to negate the need for regular cleaning, but is an interesting and useful complementary measure.”
Established in 2003, SteriTouch® are specialists in antimicrobial technology, including masterbatch, powder coat and fabric treatments. SteriTouch® is currently used in applications as diverse as infant drinking cups, hand dryers, remote control handsets, kitchen worktops, disability aids and medical connectors.
