Antimicrobial Lanyards have a built-in active ingredient that enables the lanyard to resist the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold and mildew. Antimicrobial lanyards are vital in the healthcare environment in which medical personnel regularly use lanyards to carry identification and do not want to expose patients to unwanted bacteria. Antimicrobial lanyards will stay cleaner, fresher and last longer than lanyards with untreated surfaces.
