Developed for the healthcare market, the Clean Wipe Pro is the world's first waterproof (IP-68) keyboard constructed with ergonomic flexibility. The Seal Shield Clean Wipe Pro is a low profile, compact footprint, ergonomically adjustable keyboard with short travel, chiclet-style keys. The Seal Shield Clean Wipe Pro keyboard is one hundred percent waterproof, fully submersible, washable and bleach safe. The new Clean Wipe Pro supports USB 3.0 with Seal Shield's exclusive MagSeal magnetic USB connector, allowing for quick-connect cleaning protocols.

The keyboard also includes an optional, form-fitted, transparent silicone cover which allows quick and thorough disinfection with a single wipe.

According to The University of North Carolina epidemiologist, Dr. William Rutala, "There is increasing evidence to support the contribution of the environment to disease transmission, and that we pick up pathogens at the same level by touching the environment as we do by touching the patient. But, regular cleaning with healthcare grade disinfectants can help prevent the spread of germs, viruses, and bacteria, which are known to harbor on frequently touched surfaces."
