Self-Sanitizing Toothbrush Systems

The Usetool Toothbrush is Focused on Hygiene and Simplicity

— April 1, 2019 — Art & Design
The Usetool Toothbrush has been designed as a visually simple oral hygiene solution for consumers that will also work to keep equipment in the optimal condition for use. The toothbrush itself is quite simple and is intended to be used with the accompanying holder that will help it to dry thoroughly after each use, while also sterilizing the bristles to eliminate bacteria. The base charger can be used for charging up the device when at home and offers three spaces for the toothbrushes to be stored after coming home from a trip or just on the regular.

The Usetool Toothbrush is the design work of Jiyoun Kim and Junyoung Jang for the Usetool Company, and has designed in monochromatic colors that further convey a sense of cleanliness.

3. Multi-functional Oral Hygiene Devices - There is a growing demand for oral hygiene devices that can serve multiple purposes in addition to cleaning teeth, such as sterilization and charging capabilities.
Industry Implications
