Sprixx introduces clip-on wearable hand sanitisers

Published: 12-Aug-2003


US-based Sprixx has introduced a patented product line of personal hand sanitisers which can be worn by operators.

Clipped to a belt or clothes, the dispensing systems operate with one hand to make it possible to "sanitise hands anytime and anywhere". The company says that unlike wall-mounted dispensers, the Sprixx product was designed to become second nature by removing the extra time, trouble and thought required for hand sanitation. "This allows workers to stay in their workflow, save precious time, and maintain 100% hand hygiene compliance that was otherwise impossible," says the company There are three wearable hand sanitiser models in the Sprixx line. The Sprixxer XE looks like a "beeper", comes in five colours, and is supplied by a replaceable cartridge. The Sprixx HP is intended for heavier use and comes in a holster with a 2.36 fl oz spray bottle. The lighter, less obtrusive Sprixx LT is a half-ounce spray bottle with a reusable clip. The alcohol sanitiser is said to be formulated for repeated professional use, has a light scent, uses 63% ethyl alcohol and includes emollients to protect the hands. Sprixx says wearable dispensing is the next logical breakthrough in hand sanitation: "In the newly updated US guidelines for hand hygiene in healthcare settings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends alcohol-based hand rubs as the primary hand hygiene agent for the sake of time, hand health, and effectiveness". The CDC guidelines go on to recommend making alcohol sanitisers "readily accessible" and carrying individual pocket-sized containers. "It has to always be within reach, super easy to use, and become second nature," explained Denise Bleak, Infection Control Disease Co-ordinator at California's Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC). "Sprixx is a healthcare worker's friend because it makes 100% hand hygiene possible and frees the workers' time and focus for other things." Bleak and VCMC have been field-testing the Sprixx dispensers for more than a year.
