TOMI Announces Expansion Into the Philippines Healthcare Market
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. announces that it has entered into a sales agency agreement with Espire Health Philippines, Inc. This agreement will support and deliver TOMI’s SteraMist™ suite of products to three cancer treatment specialist centers in the Philippines. Espire Health has been contracted to build, own and operate the three centers, which form the first part of president Benigno Aquino III’s health reform strategy for the Philippines.
Dr. Halden Shane, TOMI’s CEO, says, “TOMI is excited to work with Espire Health along with adding the Philippines to TOMI’s gold standard HAI control program. TOMI’s SteraMist™ program has successively and consistently demonstrated a significant reduction in HAIs in hospitals in other countries. TOMI is also pleased to announce that Espire Health’s first order was received, has cleared customs and is currently being incorporated as a standard protocol for maintaining a sterile environment within the cancer treatment centers. This will be essential for the well-being of patients undergoing treatment.
SteraMist’s binary ionization technology (BIT) is a state-of-the-art international decontamination technology that uses a low-percentage hydrogen peroxide which is passed through an atmospheric cold plasma arc to produce a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that kills or inactivates mold, bacteria and viruses, including hard-to-kill bacterial spores. This process leaves no residue and converts to only oxygen and water, which is considered eco-friendly.
