"Spread of Infectious disease often occurs when an individual's hand contacts a germ contaminated surface .The best defense against disease transmission is hand washing. Unfortunately studies have shown that a large percentage of people do not wash their hands after a visit to the bathroom.
Bathroom door handles are a huge potential source of disease causing organisms. People who wash their hands risk infection after touching the door handle. HYSO has been shown to reduce or eliminate this risk. Use of HYSO in conjunction with hand washing will result in a decrease of disease transmission".

"Keeping your hands clean is one of the best ways to protect yourself against disease. But many people don't wash their hands when they should. That's why we all look at that bathroom doorknob with suspicion. HYSO reassures you, it's safe."
--Stephen S. Morse MD
Director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University and a faculty member in the Epidemiology Department
"Tired of reaching for a doorknob, and thinking of other people's dirty hands touching it? HYSO is here to relieve your worries. In light of the recent emergence of new diseases, such as the "superbug", and other bacteria and viruses, hand hygiene is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infection. In the case of an unwashed hand touching a handle, to ensure safety, HYSO is a unique unit that does the job!"
