UVZone® for healthcare facilities
UVZone® is a floor-mounted footwear sanitizing station that uses UV-C light and ozone to treat both shoe soles during an automatic 6, 8, or 10-second cycle.
Place the station at selected healthcare entries where employees, visitors, contractors, or clinical personnel move into an area your facility wants to manage more closely.
UVZone® gives your team a repeatable shoe-sole sanitation step without operating a wet chemical footbath or handling a disposable cover at the station.
- 6, 8, or 10 Seconds
- Selectable treatment cycle
- UV-C + Ozone
- Both technologies operate during the same cycle
- Automatic Activation
- Weight sensors start the cycle
- Independent Testing
- Healthcare-associated organisms tested by NSF International Applied Research Center
Published efficacy results are organism-specific and were recorded under the laboratory conditions stated in the applicable reports. Results may vary by application conditions.

Footwear crosses facility zones
Add Shoe-Sole Sanitizing at the Point Where Personnel Enter
Healthcare personnel and visitors move through parking areas, public corridors, restrooms, loading areas, offices, patient areas, pharmacies, laboratories, and service spaces throughout the day.
When the same footwear crosses into a more controlled area, microorganisms present on the shoe sole can move across that entry with it.
UVZone® allows your facility to address the shoe sole at the doorway. The station creates a defined sanitation step before the person continues into the selected area.
Address Footwear Before It Crosses the Entry
Place UVZone® where personnel move from a general area into a controlled healthcare space or where your team has identified footwear as part of the entry protocol.
Give Every User the Same Timed Process
The selected 6, 8, or 10-second cycle provides a repeatable step for employees, visitors, contractors, and other approved users.
Make the Entry Step Easy to Identify
The floor-mounted station, designated footwear positions, visual indicators, and audible completion signal make the required step clear at the point of use.
One automatic cycle
See How UVZone® Works in 3 Easy Steps
UVZone® is designed to become a defined step in the facility's normal entry process. The station activates automatically and treats both shoe soles during one timed cycle.
Step 1
Step Onto UVZone®
Position both feet on the designated treatment areas. Weight sensors detect the user and start the selected cycle automatically.
Step 2
Remain in Place for 6, 8, or 10 Seconds
UV-C light and ozone operate together during the cycle to reduce microbial contamination on both shoe soles.
Step 3
Continue After the Completion Signal
Visual and audible indicators tell the user when the cycle is complete and they can continue through the entry.
The station does not require the user to press a button, handle a control, step into liquid, or remove a disposable item after completing the cycle.
A defined role in your sanitation program
A Repeatable Shoe-Sole Step for Selected Healthcare Entries
UVZone® is not a replacement for hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, PPE, garbing, dedicated footwear, or other procedures required by your organization.
It gives your team a way to address footwear at selected entries using fixed equipment and a timed automatic cycle.
Supports Healthcare Biosafety
UVZone® adds shoe-sole sanitizing at the point where personnel cross into a selected healthcare area.
Helps Reduce Footwear Bioburden
Independent testing has evaluated UVZone® against multiple healthcare-associated bacteria, fungi, and spores under controlled laboratory conditions.
Creates a Repeatable Entry Procedure
Your team can define the station location, selected cycle time, user group, and completion requirement within the applicable entry procedure.
Reduces Entry-Point Supply Handling
At appropriate entries, UVZone® may reduce reliance on disposable footwear supplies or wet chemical processes that require recurring inventory and handling.

Tell us which personnel use the entry, what procedures are currently required, and how the doorway operates during a normal shift.
Compare the work required at the door
UVZone®, Disposable Covers, and Chemical Foot Mats Operate Differently
The right footwear procedure depends on the entry, the healthcare environment, your quality system, and your organization's approved policies.
We help your team compare the actual operating requirements of each method rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Shoe or boot covers in useA Single-Use Barrier With Recurring Handling
Disposable covers require purchasing, size management, storage, restocking, proper donning, correct removal, used-cover handling, and waste disposal. Your facility determines where covers remain required as PPE, garbing, or a barrier procedure.
- Recurring inventory
- Multiple sizes where applicable
- Storage at each participating entry
- Restocking across shifts
- Correct donning and fit
- Removal and waste handling
- User compliance during every application
Chemical bath mat in useA Wet Process Requiring Chemical Management
Chemical mats and footbaths require the correct chemistry, concentration, liquid level, contact procedure, replacement schedule, cleaning, documentation, and disposal. The facility must also manage liquid tracking and the surrounding floor condition.
- Chemical purchasing and storage
- Mixing or concentration control
- Liquid-level monitoring
- Solution replacement
- Organic-load management
- Cleaning and disposal
- Wet floor and tracking considerations
UVZone® station in useFixed Equipment With One Timed Cycle
UVZone® remains at the selected entry. Each user steps onto the station, completes the selected cycle, and continues after the completion signal. The station requires floor space, electrical power, a defined cycle, and planned lamp and equipment maintenance.
- 24 × 24-inch station footprint
- Two-inch station height
- 120 to 240 VAC electrical input
- Clear walking and door path
- Selected 6, 8, or 10-second cycle
- Defined user procedure
- Planned inspection and maintenance
Why healthcare facilities evaluate UVZone®
Fixed footwear sanitizing equipment for the entries you choose
Disposable covers and chemical mats can remain required where your policy calls for them. They also carry recurring operational load at every participating entry: inventory, storage, donning or wet-chemistry management, tracking, documentation, and waste.
UVZone® is a commercial footwear sanitizing station that stays at the selected doorway. Each user completes one automatic 6, 8, or 10-second UV-C and ozone cycle on fixed hardware. That gives your team a repeatable, hands-free shoe-sole step you can document, staff consistently, and scale across selected entries without adding cover inventory or footbath solution handling at that door.
- Fixed station instead of recurring consumable handling at the entry
- Automatic timed cycle instead of manual donning or wet contact steps
- Hands-free operation with visual and audible completion signals
- Independent laboratory reports available for technical review
- Long-haul program fit for entries your team wants to manage with equipment
- PPE, garbing, and cover procedures remain where your policy requires them
At appropriate healthcare entries, UVZone® may replace or reduce routine dependence on disposable covers or chemical mats. It does not replace PPE, garbing, dedicated footwear, or other procedures your organization requires.
Select the right entry points
Choose the Healthcare Entries That Need a Defined Shoe-Sole Step
UVZone® does not have to be installed at every door to be useful.
Start with the entries where footwear crosses into a more controlled environment, where personnel already stop for another procedure, or where your team has identified a sanitation priority.
Pharmacy Anterooms and Cleanroom Entries
Add a shoe-sole sanitation step before personnel move into pharmacy anterooms, sterile compounding support areas, cleanrooms, or other controlled pharmacy spaces. Your pharmacy team determines how UVZone® fits with garbing, dedicated footwear, covers, and procedures required by the applicable program.
Procedural and Controlled Care Transitions
Evaluate UVZone® at selected departmental thresholds where employees or approved personnel move from a general corridor into a more controlled procedural or care-support area. Placement must account for traffic, emergency movement, equipment clearance, door operation, and facility policy.
Employee, Service, and Contractor Entrances
Treat footwear before staff, vendors, maintenance personnel, or contractors continue from an exterior or general-access area into designated healthcare operations.
Selected Long-Term Care Entries
Evaluate UVZone® at employee, service, visitor, or designated care-area entries where the organization wants a consistent shoe-sole sanitation step.
Laboratory and Controlled Technical Entries
Position the station before approved personnel enter selected laboratory, quality, testing, or controlled technical areas.
Our team reviews the doorway, user volume, walking path, door swing, threshold, available power, surrounding equipment, and current entry procedure before recommending placement.
