EOS Surfaces awarded Technology Breakthrough Designation for Furniture and Systems, Seating and Accessories with Premier, Inc.

Norfolk, VA – April 16, 2026 – EOS Surfaces has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement and Technology Breakthrough Designation for Furniture and Systems, Seating and Accessories with Premier, Inc. Effective March 15, 2026, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for EOS^CU | Preventive Biocidal Surface Overbed Tables.

“Receiving Premier’s Breakthrough Technology Designation is a meaningful validation of EOS^CU’s role in improving patient safety,” said Ken Trinder, CEO of EOS Surfaces and the inventor of the biocidal product. “In today’s healthcare environment, providers are being asked to do more with less, while the stakes for patient safety have never been higher. EOS^CU reflects our belief that innovation should serve a deeper purpose: protecting people at their most vulnerable. By continuously reducing microbial burden and decreasing the risk of pathogen transmission, we’re helping create spaces where healing is supported, not compromised.”

EOS^CU is a revolutionary, EPA-registered self-sanitizing surface that has helped protect patients and their families for over 10 years. EOS^CU is a copper-infused solid surface that actively and continuously kills disease-causing pathogens. It starts working immediately and persists for the life of the product.
