PDI has been at the forefront of infection prevention since 1977 and spearheaded the development of many of the industry's most important infection prevention solutions. Today, the company takes a multi-pronged approach to innovation including organic new product development, acquisitions and partnerships, and ongoing enhancements to its existing line of market-leading products and value-added services. This is evident with the recent product launches of the Profend^® Nasal Decolonization Kit and Sani-Cloth^® Prime Wipes, as well as the company's first germicidal sprays with Sani-Professional^®, Sani-24^® and Sani-Hypercide^™ products. In 2019, PDI expanded into capital equipment and related services with the acquisition of Tru-D^® SmartUVC, a pioneer in the UVC disinfection industry and maker of the first UVC robot, adding valuable breadth to PDI's pandemic response efforts. This year, PDI's disinfectant products received EPA approval for its claims against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, further supporting its legacy of clinical leadership and trusted advice to its customers.
