AliMed Introduces New Extended Persistence Sanitizers

AliMed inc., the leading innovator in healthcare products announced today that it will be introducing two new extended persistence sanitizers for medical use at the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) conference in Denver, Colorado, June 15th-19th, 2008.

AliMed's Touchstone Silver,, Hand Sanitizing Spray and Touchstone Agion SilverClene24,, will be highlighted at the conference. These innovative products are proven to have an extended kill time against MRSA and more than 240 other pathogens. They use silver-based technology engaging the antibacterial properties of silver which has long been considered the treatment of choice against bacterial infections and infectious organisms.

According to a leading silver researcher, "What we have actually done is rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, which has been known for centuries...." Chelated silver is effective against more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and unlike antibiotics, resistant strains do not develop.

Julian Cherubini, AliMed's President and Founder said, "Traditionally hand and surface sanitizers have used harsh chemicals that do kill pathogens, but have short term impact and cannot sustain killing power once their alcohol base dissipates and require constant re-application. These new sanitizers are different.

Agion SilverClene24,, works for 24 hrs. against staph, pseudomonas and salmonella, and also kills MRSA, VRE, HIV, Influenza, Rhinovirus, and Aspergillus. This is especially important in healthcare environments where microbial mutation and antibiotic resistance are major concerns in fighting disease.
