Hygienic Door Handle - By Stream Hygiene Ltd.

Stream Hygiene Ltd. are a UK based manufacturer of hygienic washroom (toilet) products. They manufacture and distribute hygienic washroom products including the brilliant Tornado hands free air dryer, zero flush waterless urinals and revolving toilet seat covers.

Their latest product is the Hygienic toilet cubicle door handle. This unique device is expertly designed to protect toilet users from the hazards of disease transfer through contact. It is a well understood practise that many bathroom users do not wash their hands when using the bathroom, but more so, immediately after using the toilet cubicle, there is rarely a wash basin in the same room, so after finishing your business, in all likelihood, you will touch the same handle that the previous user touched. This could significantly increase the chances of catching a transferable disease. [view video after the jump]




While this product displays an obvious uniqueness, it is not alone in the category of anti-bacterial entrance hardware. We are the North American Distributors for the fabulous Meroni door and cabinet hardware manufacturers of Italy. A few years ago, Meroni became a pioneer in the industry when they introduced their range of contemporary designed anti-bacterial door handles. 

Products such as these are being sought after by more and more institutions, hospitals, schools and public buildings because people are keen to prevent the transfer of potentially dangerous, even life threatening illnesses and to protect themselves and their companies from the lawsuits that might be brought against them.

The movie Contagion, with Gwynneth Paltrow and Matt Damon came out in October last year and portrayed a classic example of what could happen if a disease was transferred easily between people.

Thanks to forward thinking companies like Meroni and Stream Hygiene Ltd. consumers can rest assured that some companies are continuing to design products aimed at improving the quality of life.
