WAKEFIELD, Mass. -- Agion Technologies, Inc., the worldwide leader in natural silver-based antimicrobial solutions, today announced a partnership with leading providers of antimicrobial protected products to launch the Agion Natural Alliance at the 2008 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC) annual conference.

The Agion Natural Alliance is dedicated to providing naturally-based antimicrobial protection to healthcare environments worldwide. When used in a healthcare setting, antimicrobial treated products can help to maintain a safer and more hygienic environment. Each member of the alliance offers a unique product to the healthcare industry that is protected with Agion's natural silver-based antimicrobial technology.

"The ultimate goal of this alliance is to create a space where healthcare professionals and product companies can go to learn and discuss the benefits of antimicrobials," said Cyndy Hunter, director of marketing for Agion Technologies. "Agion continues to lead the way with unique communication tools to educate the entire industry about how this simple solution can help maintain a more hygienic environment when used in a healthcare setting."

Products protected by Agion's patented technology actively inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on surfaces 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Medical devices, equipment, textiles and architectural materials that incorporate Agion can be used in conjunction with normal cleaning programs to add a valuable layer of protection against microbial growth. Agion continues to expand healthcare outreach to provide superior antimicrobial protection in applications where there is a high importance placed on environmental hygiene.
