D-Sprayer - A disinfecting spray system for hospital equipment Enabling housekeeping staff to clean equipment on location Challenge In hospitals surfaces can look clean and safe to touch, when they are actually teeming with infectious germs. Inconsistent housekeeping practices increase the potential for infection from contact with germs. “Deaths linked to hospital germs represent the fourth leading cause of mortality among Americans, behind heart disease, cancer and strokes.…according to the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” (Berns, 21 July) These infections kill more people each year than car accidents, fires and drowning combined. Hospital infections are often preventable. Solution Provide housekeeping staff with the necessary tools to insure effective and efficient sanitization of hospital equipment. Bring the cleaning to the equipment to eliminate transport time, maintaining access, and insuring safer interaction’s.

Easy Reach Back Brush - Exfoliation of the body is a necessary step for the maintenance of healthy skin. Have you ever tried to use the currently available back brushes? They are difficult and for some uncomfortable to use becuase they require the person to contort their arm and body to even be able to reach their back. Furthermore, as we get older we gradually lose our flexibility. The Easy Reach Back Brush is designed specifically to work with the natural angles of the body. By curving the arm and handle, the brush wraps around the body to the desired location. Its right-angled handle allows the user to easily apply pressure to the bristles with only a flick of the wrist. It’s so comfortable and easy to use that even my 90 year-old grandmother loves the one I gave her.
