- For Meritech, Inc. Ronnie Welch, 508-222-4802 Ronnie@cwrpartners.com or Kelly Cinelli, 508-222-4802 kelly@cwrpartners.com Meritech, Inc., a division of Resurgent Health and Medical and a leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced today the company has experienced growth in all areas including new office space, additional sales and service staff, and many new customers. Meritech has

worked aggressively with industries throughout the United States to promote and encourage hand hygiene and infection control with its CleanTech touchless system.

The CleanTech touchless system performs a fully-automated twelve-second wash, sanitize and rinse cycle. Using Meritech's proprietary Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) sanitizing solution, the single cycle removes over 99.9% of pathogens and continues to kill germs for up to six hours. The FDA certified CHG-based sanitizer contains mild skin conditioners to continuously improve skin health while removing dangerous germs.

"For the past 20 years, we have enjoyed great success in the food processing industry and are pleased to expand our growth and reach into other market areas including hospitals, medical facilities, restaurants and hospitality. We are working with industries throughout the country to encourage zero tolerance for lapses in hand hygiene with our CleanTech systems," says Jim Glenn, CEO of Meritech. "The most important thing you can do in any public place is wash your hands. With the spread of MRSA and other illnesses, it is critical to teach and educate about proper handwashing."

The system 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 machines are used.
