Pluie uses a patent-pending [UV-C light system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolet-food-storage) that turns on when the table is folded up and not in use. As UV-C light is known to kill 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses, hospitals rely on it for sterilizing surfaces. On top of addressing cleanliness, Pluie boasts an improved design with a leak-proof cushion, a retractable security strap and multipurpose durable handles. For locations that lack access to power, there's also a non-UV version of the innovative diaper changing table.
