Healthy Hand-Cleaning Doors

The Pullclean Hand Sanitizer Door Handles Will Keep You Germ-Free

— April 1, 2014 — Business
If you're like me and suffer from a little Howard Hughes antibacterial frenzy syndrome, instant hand sanitizer door handles will keep your hands germ free and let you leave home without your beloved anti-bacterial sanitizer stash.

Imagine not having to use a tissue or your sleeve to open doors after you just washed your hands. Well, PullClean has turned our fantasy into reality with its new door handle, which is designed as an instant hand sanitizer.

Created by British studio Agency of Design, the PullClean turns normal door handles (which if you know your germs, is the perfect place for them to hang) into revolutionary sanitizing devices.

Ideal for hospitals, the PullClean comes with a CountClean software which monitors the rates of hand sanitization, how much sanitizer is remaining in the handle and when the cartridge should next be changed.

“Hospital acquired infections kill 100,000 people in the US each year,” says Jake McKnight, developer of the PullClean.
Trend Themes
1. Instant Hand Sanitizer Door Handles - Opportunity for companies to develop and market door handles integrated with built-in hand sanitizers.
2. Revolutionary Sanitizing Devices - Potential for innovators to create new sanitizing technologies and devices that can be implemented in various settings.
3. Smart Hand Sanitizing Solutions - Emerging trend of incorporating smart technology, such as monitoring software, into hand sanitizing products.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare Facilities - Opportunity for healthcare facilities to invest in and implement instant hand sanitizer door handles to reduce the risk of infections.
2. Sanitizing Technology - Growing industry for companies specializing in developing revolutionary sanitizing devices for various applications.
3. Smart Hygiene Products - Potential for companies to capitalize on the trend of smart technology in hygiene products by creating smart hand sanitizing solutions.
