Partners to Fight MRSA Epidemic

Elkhart, IN- Indiana based Sports-O-Zone has joined sports equipment company Rogers to help alleviate the growing number of staph and MRSA infections. Rogers, a leader in the sporting industry, anticipates great results from its union with Sports-O-Zone.

Sports-O-Zone’s patented sanitizing system uses the power of the ozone to eliminate bacteria. Its design allows for treating more equipment at one time than other currently available techniques. Ozone manages bacteria in a natural way and ranks ahead of hydrogen peroxide, bleach, and iodine as both an oxidant and disinfectant. According to Rik Kain, Director of Operations at Sports-O-Zone, “The technology will make life a lot easier for athletes worried about contracting these diseases.” Ozone is odorless, free of residue, and is nature’s way of distilling the atmosphere. Rogers aims to “make sporting equipment safer, better, and easier to use.” By adding Sports-O-Zone to their product line, they have added the safest available product for destroying harmful bacteria on athletic equipment.  Mark Eades, Director of Sales at Sports-O-Zone states “Our Company’s main concerns are safety, performance, and convenience, and Rogers definitely shares this philosophy."

Sports-O-Zone’s unique system is the top choice for 12 NFL teams, several universities including Ohio State, as well as numerous high schools. Steve Urbaniak, Equipment Manager for the San Francisco 49ers states “the Sports-O-Zone sanitizing unit performed well beyond our expectations.” Rogers and Sports-O-Zone are dedicated to the safety and well-being of athletes; this partnership provides the chance to prove it.

High School Testimonial

Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District

My name is Renee Putter and I am the Interim Athletic Director for the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District in Carrollton, Texas.  Last March, we purchased a SPORT-O-ZONE machine and it has been the best thing ever!

 

We place all kinds of our sports equipment in the machine and it comes out bacteria free.  We have had our share of Staph Infections and this machine has assisted us in cutting down the number of bacteria related cases in our middle and high schools athletic programs.

 

After the game and at the end of the season, our football coaches place their helmets and shoulder pads in the machine and the machine disinfects them in a quick amount of time.   The coaches know that after each treatment, the equipment is bacteria free.  Parents love the idea that we are being proactive in our fight against bacterial infections.

 

This is a great product and CFBISD puts their stamp of approval on it.
