"Healthy Handle" Self-Sterilizing Door Handle


Sometimes we do not pay attention to door handles, except when we want to open the door and we do not even reflect on the extent to which they are clean or dirty. I also never thought about it ever, until I found a very interesting novelty a self-sterilizing doorknob, but that does not mean that we can not wash our hands.

Door handles are things that are always dirty.

Especially those handles that are in public places, where hundreds or even thousands of hands touch them every day.

And although the handles can be cleaned during the day and night, that’s not enough, to be sure of their cleanness. That’s why we need the door handles that sterilize themselves. It wouldn’t even be surprising that such conceptual designs, win the highest award.

A self- sterilizing doorknob, was developed by the designer Bomi Choi, who won the award Red Dot Design Concept. The designer tried to explain what the secret of work is. It’s pretty simple and straightforward idea. The design uses ultra violet light. When the door knob untouched, the UV lamp will light up and begin the processes of sterilization. As soon as you try to take it for a UV lamp switched off, so when the handle returns to its original position, the lamps in turn again lights up, Ultra Violet Ray is very good and the efficiency for killing bacteria and germs. Personally, I’m sure it’s a great idea and also hope that this project will come to reality.
