EquiFit Plans to Help Ward Off Spread of MRSA, Makes SilverClene24(TM) Available to Schools, Homes and Offices

EquiFit Inc., a leading provider of state-of-the-art personal health and SpaCare products announced today national availability of its AgSilver™ Anti-Microbial surface protectant, proven to kill MRSA, VRE and influenza on surfaces for up to 24 hours with just one spray. SilverClene24 is also non-toxic and registered with the EPA.

As primary suppliers in the healthcare industry, EquiFit and its parent company AliMed have introduced SilverClene24 to hospitals, assisted living centers, work place environments and most recently spas over the past year with astounding results.

At a recent presentation of an independent study to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) meeting, June 24-26, 2007 in San Jose, Calif., Maureen Spencer, M.Ed, RN, RYT and the infection control manager of the New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, found results demonstrated organisms including Staph aureus and E. Coli were killed immediately upon contact and the action was sustained over a 24-hour period.

The use of naturally occurring silver ions reduces the potential for antimicrobial resistance commonly encountered with other more traditional anti-microbials and disinfectants. It is also, colorless, odor free and can be used without wearing protective masks, goggles or gloves.

“This is especially important in healthcare environments where microbial mutation and antibiotic resistance are major concerns in fighting disease,” says Spencer. “We are using this spray in our pre-surgical unit, radiology suite, ambulatory care unit, recovery room and public bathrooms, but it can be applied to virtually any surface including telephones, gym surfaces, locker rooms, key boards and toilet seats–anywhere with heavy personal contact and use by multiple persons throughout the day.”

“While our focus has been on marketing SilverClene24 to spas and fitness facilities, there is no reason these powerful antimicrobial benefits can’t be more widely available,” said Alexandra Cherubini, CEO and founder of EquiFit. “It seems increasingly important to let others know a product that can help them is out there– particularly as MRSA outbreaks continue in new and different settings and more people are becoming concerned.”
