by Shane Henson — February 15, 2013—ARAMARK Cleanroom Services, a division of ARAMARK that develops sterile products and services for cleanroom environments, has launched the world’s first and only reusable goggle that is validated sterile and does not discolor or break down during the sterilization process, says the company.
The Acuity Goggle is more durable and retains its visual transmittance through a life span of 25 irradiation cycles, whereas other goggles can only be used from one to eight times before they must be discarded, says ARAMARK. This results in greater cost and safety benefits, and has the added environmental benefit of reducing waste and allowing for a more sustainable approach for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, electronics and other companies that operate sterile facilities.
Additional benefits to the end wearer include ARAMARK’s patented adjustable low-particulating comfort strap with gamma-compatible buckles and oversized indirect vents that limit fogging and improved air flow. Also, says the company, the goggle is custom designed to accommodate prescription glasses while providing superior peripheral visibility.
“The Acuity Goggle truly is a game changer for people and companies working in a research or manufacturing setting, where maintaining a sterile environment is critical,” said Mike Rataj, group technical manager for ARAMARK. “Before, their reusable protective eyewear would turn yellow and start to break down each time they went through the sterilization process, and would often impede the visual clarity they need to do their jobs.”
