We all know the message about the im-portance of hand sanitising. But it is not al-ways practical to carry bottles of sanitiser in your pocket or bag and with an estimated 10 million empty sanitiser bottles due to end up in UK landfill this year, local business woman Beverley Boon has been developing an idea that would help to keep us protected and change the way we think about hand hygiene.
Bactiband, is a multipurpose, wearable wrist dispenser suitable for sanitising your hands on the go. The concept is simple, Fill It – Wear It – Use It. Bactiband is refillable so can be filled with up to 15mls of sanitiser gel, liquid, liquid soap, which offers approximately 20 doses. The band is light weight, and made of high quality silicone. Bactiband comes with a refill bottle so you fill it with your chosen product and it is ready for use and it is availa-ble in 17 different colours.
The concept for Bactiband was developed long before Covid-19. Whilst Beverley was at university one of her modules involved de-signing a product or service and developing it, which seems quite uncanny as she developed a product very similar to Bactiband!
Bactiband is such an ingenious and novel idea which helps to protect you and those around you and most importantly it helps to prevent the spread of bacteria, virus and cross con-tamination. Having Bactiband on your wrist means you have sanitiser to hand when you need it, it is much better than having to use some of the most dubious smelling sanitisers you get in shop doorways and it is ideal for the gym, shopping, when you are out and about or when you feel you safety might be compromised.
Beverley has developed a red, yellow and green traffic light system suitable for schools and businesses, which clearly shows those who are happy to interact, those who are cau-tious about interacting and red for those who are not happy to interact.
With Christmas just around the corner Bacti-band is suitable for the whole family and makes a perfect and novel stocking filler at just £7.99. To spread joy and not germs head to the online shop at www.bactiband.co.uk and type the word JOY at checkout to receive a 20% discount.
