Bacteria-killing utility tool made for safely accessing door handles, ATM touchscreens, and other germ-filled surfaces, is first of its kind.

San Francisco, CA — May 7, 2020 –  In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, 12 year old, Mizan Rupan-Tompkins, creates and launches a contact-less product designed to help people avoid germ-filled surfaces while in the public. The antimicrobial utility tool called the: Safe Touch Pro Handle allows people to interact with door handles, ATM touchscreens and more without using their fingers. The device uses antimicrobial silver ions to kill 99% of bacteria while also made from plant-based materials.

Mizan was inspired to create the product after witnessing his parents struggle to open public doors with their sleeves. “There had to be a better way, a better design, and a way to reduce germ exposure for people. I also wanted to use an eco-friendly plant-based material; something good for the earth,” he recounts.

His early prototypes quickly sold on Ebay followed by more demand from nurses at a local hospital.  Now with a three-fold expansion of 3-D printers, he’s ready for the next wave of orders as shelter-in-place restrictions begin to relax across the country and more people find their way back into the public trying to minimize exposure to germ-filled surfaces.

“It’s just a wonderful product…I’m going to buy one for my mother, daughter, and my wife,” exclaims, Dr. Akili Graham, a family doctor in Houston, Texas.Priscilla Fernandez of Hayward, CA, writes, “I love it!! I no longer have to use my sleeve to open certain doors. I also don’t have to keep using my latex gloves for every surface I come into contact with.
