Good morning to all,

Since the start of the Covid-19, there have been many debates around the wearing of the mask, the use of hydro-alcoholic gels and other barrier gestures to put in place, but nothing about the door handles, which are vectors of invisible bacteria. Whether it is individuals, businesses or the medical sector, we should consider installing secure, sanitized and non-contact hand grips so that the hands do not come into direct contact with the handles.

Instead of using your hand as usual, you should be able to use your forearm, and even more precisely your elbow, by setting up the equivalent of a hand-free handle. This would avoid permanent disinfection of our door handles or opening with disposable towels, problematic for the environment...

Does this type of product already exist? Thank you for your answers!

      Hi, yes it is a solution but if we succeed in overcoming the covid we will all be less vigilant again. I think a hygienic handle to open with the elbow would become the solution !

      If anyone finds any, please feel free to tell me.

      Thank you for your answers.
