Germinator

About

A glove you can top-up with steriliser

One of the solutions to cope with lack of health care supplies is to develop reusable materials. Project Germinator identified photoactive materials that act against viruses when exposed to light, which can be applied to silicone - so gloves can be produced with three key componenets in times of Covid-19: disinfection, re-usability and functionality. They can be re-exposed to photoactive material and regain its desinfection properties continuously.
