Samsung has partnered with Clean Remote Llc. to offer cleaner and easier-to-sanitize TV remotes for healthcare facilities. The companies will offer a free Clean Remote to every healthcare facility in the U.S. that purchases a commercial-grade Samsung TV, according to a press release.

"Clean Remotes were developed because standard remotes are nearly impossible to sanitize," Michael Monsky, president, Clean Remote, said in the release. "Patients spend so much time holding their remotes. They are often in their hands while they eat in their bed and when sleeping. Traditional remote controls have raised buttons that create gaps and crevices which can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. By contrast, we designed Clean Remote's with a sealed, smooth, non-porous surface that is easily cleaned. Our mission is to provide a Cleaner TV Remote solution that is simple for the patient, easy for the staff, and cost-effective for the facility."
