The NHS seem to be under constant media attention. Reports yesterday warned of the increase in Clostridium difficile infection in Scottish hospitals. With new figures on hospital diseases being reported every week, the battle against bugs and germs is becoming harder.
Keytools can offer support to hospitals, and anyone else, who would like to prevent the spread of infection through computer equipment.
Microban keyboards and accessories contain antibacterial technology to ensure continuous protection from potentially harmful germs. Another solution is the use of washable computer accesories . These can be held under running water and can even withstand hospital strength disinfectant.
If you'd like to learn more about infection control please visit the Keytools website or call us on 023 8029 4500.

"It's a mouse that looks like a fried egg." That's how some customers describe it. And it does! But it's much more than that.
The BigTrack is really popular in schools as it's tough enough to withstand everything a class of children can throw at it! Also the huge trackball makes it easy for new computer users to move the cursor round the screen. Children seem to love the bright colours too.
The BigTrack Ergonomic Mouse only requires the slightest touch, so is especially beneficial for computer users who find it difficult to use a standard mouse due to:
Arthritis
Repetitive Strain Injury
Lack of fine motor skills
Poor hand-eye coordination
The two oversized mouse buttons are equally easy to use, and due to their location behind the trackball, will avoid accidental mouse clicks.
If you struggle to use a standard mouse, then the BigTrack Ergonomic Mouse may be the solution.
