WetKeys® Introduces New Swipe Clean Medical Grade Keyboard for Rapid Sanitization in Healthcare Facilities

Revolutionary new medical grade computer keyboard prevents the spread of infections with smooth, durable, and easy to sanitize design.


WetKeys® Washable Keyboards welcomes the new medical keyboard, SaniType® "Swipe Clean" Smooth Surface Washable Keyboard to its product line. The completely sealed, smooth surface keyboard addresses increasing concerns for public health, including infection prevention. Swipe Clean is a crevice-free flat surface keyboard that can be wiped clean and sanitized with ease.

Other medical-grade keyboards are overlooked fomites that can cause the spread of deadly infections in the healthcare field. Spaces between computer keys contain gaps and grooves where blood, debris, and microbes hide. Finding efficient ways to clean medical keyboards decreases the spread of infections.

The SaniType Swipe Clean is a fully sealed keyboard built-tough to withstand routine cleaning and sanitation protocols. The smooth surface makes cleaning procedures like the “spray-wipe-spray” method easier and more efficient, reducing the time needed between patients, saving time and lives.

The Swipe Clean model has raised keys that provide tactile feedback underneath a permanent cover allowing for efficient and easy typing for healthcare professionals. It can be cleaned and sanitized in one swipe making routine cleaning easy in between patients.

“We launched the SaniType brand to meet the need for sanitary typing solutions in the healthcare sector,” said Matt Dombrowski, WetKeys Sales Manager. “There has been a growing interest in smooth surface keyboards among cognizant infection preventionists at leading health clinics that we outfit, so we introduced the Swipe Clean to meet the needs of dynamic infection prevention plans for long term care homes, clinics, and hospitals.”
