The hospital has the hand sanitizer foam "stations" all around the hospital. We have placed one of them in plain site by our public computers.

Anybody have solutions for this?" Logitec makes an "Antimicrobial" keyboard, MX-3200, cost $99. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices /140&cl=us,en The company that makes this coating. http://www.agion-tech.com/ PubMed returns three articles on this product. This is not really a silver bullet, (ahem) but it does offer some protection against bacteria & fungi. (Also, some people are allergic to silver) I suspect we will see these types of coatings grow in popularity over the next few years Cheers Rick Colbert Reference Librarian CDC Public Health Library 1600 Clifton Rd.

We are becoming concerned about how to keep the public computer keyboards and mice clean and sanitary. We have no solution as yet, but have thought of offering purell for hands, or some sort of wipe that would be available. Anybody have solutions for this? Thanks for your time!
