A Simple Solution
to a Simple Problem
Back
in the 1840’s Doctors Wendell-Holmes and
Semmelweis,
finally proved that infection and disease were being
spread by the unwashed hands of medical colleagues, and
simply washing hands well between patients visits,
reduced the risks of cross infection dramatically.
Yet,
here we are at the turn of the twenty first century and
touch-transferred infections still present a major
health problem throughout the world.
|
|
"Its not that people don't wash
their hands. They simply don't know how
to wash their hands properly". |

The
undisputable conclusion, is that poorly washed hands are
as much a touch-contamination risk as unwashed hands.
Thankfully this is one problem easily solved using
Glowtec’s Wash & Glow Hand Wash Training System.
Applying a layer of invisible microscopic UV particles
onto the hands, poor hand washing technique can be
highlighted by making these non-toxic germ-like
particles glow brightly under a UV CheckPoint Lamp.
Areas of skin that were not washed properly glow
bright green, whereas areas that were washed
properly, do not. This simple, yet highly effective
test forms the basis of the Wash & Glow hand washing
training system.
From
the novelty and fun of first-time hand wash training, to
the assurance of daily hand wash self-tests, there is
now a simple, effective and affordable Wash & Glow
solution, to help raise and maintain hand hygiene
standards, throughout the organisation.
The
Importance of Effective
Hand Washing
When
performed
correctly, hand washing is the single most effective
way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Good hand washing
technique is easy to learn and can significantly reduce the spread of
infectious diseases among both children and adults.

Did you know?
-
We have between 2 and 10 million
bacteria between fingertip and elbow
-
Damp hands spread 1,000 times more
germs than dry hands
-
The number of germs on your
fingertips doubles after you use the toilet
-
Germs can stay alive on hands for
up to three hours
-
Millions of germs
hide under watches and bracelets and there could be as
many germs under your ring as there are people in
Europe.

Around 20% of women and
40% of men don't
wash their hands after using a public loo! |
|
|
|
|
|
90% of germs on hands are found under
the nails. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
The number of bacteria can double in 20 minutes
and after one
day without hand washing; a single bacterium can multiply 2 billion,
trillion times. |
UV-GERM
Invisible Technology
at Work
Inside each UV
GERM product is the magic active ingredient; Invisible
Starglow UV-Revealing
Particles; amazing microscopic germ-like dots which under normal lighting
conditions are invisible to the eye and are completely safe and
non-toxic .
However when
exposed to a
UV Blacklight; they will fluoresce brightly and clearly, to indicate the
scope of 'contamination' that has occurred, and to reveal the potential bacteria
that remains after washing (even on the towel!)
Unlike certain foreign producers of Hand Washing training materials, Glowtec only use
High-Performing Starglow UV Revealing Particles
and not UV Brighteners / Whiteners, similar to those used in
washing powders.
Unlike UV
Whiteners which give off a 'Bluey white' glow under UV Light. Starglow UV-R
particles glow
Bright Green,
for a more accurate simulation experience and one which provides a far more
distinctive and pleasing effect under Blacklight.

When representing Bacterial
Infection on hands, Bright Green
is a more effective and
realistic colour than either
blue or red. |
