Handle Hygiene Chooses Nuevo

Clever Hygiene Solutions Ltd, is an Irish company formed by Brian Cunningham and Maurice McDonagh back in 2013 and since then they have been developing and refining the Door Handle sanitizing Hygiene device from its’ original concept to the present model which is now smaller, lighter and most importantly more efficient without compromising the quality, standard or performance

Brian conceived the original design back in 2008 after his father contracted MRSA while in hospital. At this time, there was an outbreak of Norovirus and all the visitors were restricted. Brian observed that the only common contact point for everyone in the hospital were the door handles. When he started to swab test and analyse the handles, his suspicions were confirmed. Most of the tests, then and now, reveal that the colony count (that should be below 5 colonies per square centimetre) were in most cases TMTC (to many to count). It was a problem that was not so easy to solve. Several years of R&D have resulted in a unit that is about 80% smaller than the original and now delivers about 4,000 uses.

Its purpose is to prevent door handles and especially toilet / washroom door handles from being a source of cross contamination, frequent and commonly used door handles are known to harbour a wide range of microbial growth, our device when used in conjunction with a suitable hospital approved disinfectant, destroys this growth helping prevent cross contamination,
