Personal Sanitizers

Sprixx Hand Hygiene System


Some of the reasons to adopt the use of a Sprixx personal sanitizer:

  • Buys Time – Never having to interrupt your workflow to sanitize hands (when hands are not visibly soiled) gives you time! The moments spent interrupting what you’re doing to use wallmounts adds up. Who couldn’t use more time?

  • Heavy Workloads – Studies show the direct correlation between the demands for hand hygiene and lower compliance rates. It is the high workload periods when infection rates are highest. Wallmount use usually requires an interruption to workflow as well as additional time and steps. A natural unconscious consequence is the discouragement of reacting or even noticing every indication for hand hygiene. Hand washing is much more so.

  • Busiest Times – Before Sprixx, busy healthcare workers could sanitize their hands every time they should or do their jobs but not both - the time requirements do not add up. At least one-forth of the nursing time in busy wards would be spent practicing hand hygiene. Sprixxing takes virtually no time or focus away from your workflow. And, as it becomes a second nature habit, remembering during busy times becomes easier.

  • Solving Big Problem – You are potentially pioneering an intervention that could help the U.S., for example, create a model that could inevitably save up to 50K lives annually there alone. Can a national average less than 50% compliance for such a critically important initiative with so many lives at stake be considered acceptable? A quick review of the annual stakes just in the U.S. is in order: 2 M hospital infections, 80K deaths, cost of $30 billion. Is this not cause for radical reinvention?

  • Time Savings – The lost moments add up quickly - hunting down a sink or wallmount dispenser are interruptions of time and attention that can add up to an hour in a single shift. Sprixx offers every healthcare professional more time.

  • Focus – using Sprixx, you now never have to interrupt your workflow, thought processes, or a procedure to sanitize your hands.

  • Patient Care – Having more time and focus translates into a higher quality of patient care. With Sprixx, you don’t have to break patient eye contact to sanitize your hands.

  • Your Confidence – Sprixx offers you the confidence that your hands are out of the deadly chain of infection and that your work is not in jeopardy of being undermined by an infection.

  • Protection – Sprixx helps protect you and your family from bringing home an infection.

  • Cost Savings - Budgets affect us all. Time savings and lower infection rates translate into multiplied savings. One prevention may pay for a decade of Sprixx use.

  • Patient Confidence - Sprixx is a visible symbol for patients that the best infection control measures are a priority.

  • Leadership – Your Sprixxer helps remind others to sanitize their hands. Leadership by example is a key element of institution-wide hand hygiene compliance.
