The health issue

Studies have found that human hands harbour far higher numbers of bacteria species than previously thought. Using powerful gene sequencing techniques, researchers found a typical hand had roughly 150 different species of bacteria.

By using a WristPull door handle you can minimize the transfer of harmful bacteria, by not letting your hand come into contact with a potentially infected surface.

Norovirus affects between 600,000 and one million people in the UK every year. A study conducted by the University of Arizona found that most common micro organisms associated with outbreaks stemming from public toilets included shigella, salmonella, norovirus and hepatitis A virus.

Wristpull is ideally suited to healthcare and food preparation environments and is easily installed on any self-closing toilet exit door in a restaurant, café, coffee shop or food court, also within a hospital, science lab, clean room, health center, clinic, GP surgery or care home as well as in any public area such as a train station, shopping mall, cinema, theater, park, public convenience, pub, school or gym.
