Resurgent Health and Medical, a leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced today the recognition of the 2.9 million Registered Nurses working in the United States. Resurgent has worked aggressively with hospital and medical facilities to promote and encourage hand hygiene and infection control.

"We're committed to assisting and helping the nurses that work so hard on a daily basis to care for all the patients throughout the United States. We are working with hospitals to encourage zero tolerance for lapses in hand hygiene with our CleanTech systems," says Jim Glenn, CEO of Resurgent Health and Medical. "Nurses wash their hands so many times during the day, and hospitals and facilities should provide better systems and measures to help make this necessary hygiene step easier and more pleasurable."

Resurgent Health and Medical delivers state of the art employee hygiene technologies to hospitals and healthcare facilities, restaurants, meat-processing plants, dentist offices, etc. that are serious about infection prevention and the elimination of dangerous pathogens in the workplace.

Resurgent's systems replace the inconvenience and inconsistency of manual handwashing with a totally automated approach to infection prevention. It is the first fully-automated, touchless system available in healthcare for mechanical handwashing, rinsing and sanitizing. It performs a ten-second cycle using a non-alcohol disinfecting solution. By making handwashing quick and easy to perform, the system increases healthcare workers' compliance to a hand hygiene program. It further boosts compliance by ensuring a pleasant, uniform handwash using high-pressure water jets that perform a consistent wash-and-sanitize cycle every time the machine is used.

In addition, handwashing compliance can be measured automatically. A patent-pending radio-frequency identification (RFID) employee badge reading technology, combined with data-reporting software, provide hospitals with automated monitoring and reporting of handwashing events.
