New hand sanitizing wipes help youth stay healthy

Jan. 11, 2007
Sani-Hands for Kids Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes now available to schools, childcare facilities, childrens' hospitals and pediatric and dental offices.

In an effort to promote the importance of hand hygiene and reduce absenteeism, PDI--the healthcare division of Nice-Pak Products, Inc.--
introduces Sani-Hands for Kids Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes.

"Proper hand hygiene for children is the single most important mean for preventing the spread of infection in schools and health-care facilities," stated Jean Fleming, R.N., MPM, CIC, Infection Prevention Education Manager for PDI.

Sani-Hands for Kids pre-moistened wipes kill 99.99% of germs--more than gels or rub-in alcohol handwashes. "As children and adults use the wipes," explained Fleming, "the friction caused by wiping physically removes bacteria and dirt on the surface of hands, which gels don't do."

Sani-Hands for Kids Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes are now available to schools, childcare facilities, childrens' hospitals and pediatric and dental offices.

To minimize the drying effects of alcohol and moisturize the skin, the
premoistened wipes contain emollients such as aloe, glycerin and vitamin E.
Easy and fun to use, Sani-Hands for Kids wipes are available in 220-count
and 135-count canisters as well as individual "on-the-go" packets.

For more than 20 years, PDI has pioneered the development, testing,
manufacturing and marketing of pre-moistened wipes as the optimal system
for infection prevention and control.

With trusted brands including Sani-Cloth, Sani-Dex ALC, Hygea and Chlorascrub, PDI serves the health-care market through hospitals, physician and dental offices, emergency medical services, long-term care, schools and a variety of other healthcare facilities. PDI is the Healthcare Division of Nice-Pak Products Inc., headquartered in Orangeburg, New York.
