Supertowel™ is a reusable and highly durable towel that includes a permanently bonded anti-microbial layer. It is designed to provide clean hands without using soap and using only a small amount of water.
About Supertowel
It looks just like an ordinary towel, but it has a built in antimicrobial layer that provides protection against pathogens. The Supertowel offers the user clean, germ free hands even in situations where neither soap nor running water is within reach. The Supertowel offers a high tech solution to a practical and very serious hygiene problem.
Facts
Hand washing is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent infectious diseases. This simple behavior can save lives. Pathogens can spread from person to person by physical contact. Therefore hand washing after contact with a potentially infected person, surface or object is an effective method to help protect yourself and others from infection.
Removes and kills Pathogens
Supertowel has undergone clinical tests showing that it removes more pathogens than soap and water when used for hand washing. The antimicrobial layer on Supertowel is efficacious against bacteria, fungi and so called encapsulated viruses. Supertowel as a hand washing tool removes pathogens from hands and kills it. Additionally, Supertowel offers protection against infected surfaces i.e. door handles.
COVID19
Even Though the antimicrobial treatment on Supertowel is reported to be effective against encapsulated viruses, and COVID19 is an encapsulated virus, we do not claim that Supertowel is efficacious against COVID19. We suspect it is, but it has not yet been tested directly on the Supertowel. Such a test is right now being processed in partnership between a number of US Universities, the Humanitarian Innovation Fund and Real Relief.
