Germaphobe UV Handgrips

This Door Handle with a Self-Sterilization System Makes Spaces Sanitary

Maybe I'm a bit of a germaphobe, but I hate touching the push panel on my way out of a public washroom. The Door Handle with Self-Sterilization System is the perfect solution to unsanitary communal restroom conditions because it routinely cleans itself with the help of UV disinfecting technology.

Designed by Choi Bomi, the Door Handle with Self-Sterilization System won a Red Dot concept award for its commendable capacity. Remaining in constant sanitizing mode when not in use, you can be sure that your hand hygiene won't be compromised until you touch the next surface.
