Built to last, this touchless hand sanitizing fixture is an easy, cost-effective solution that significantly reduces germ transmission. The device features an app and online dashboard automatically alerting staff when it's time to refill, eliminating the time-consuming chore of checking each individual dispenser and also ensuring dispensers always stay filled.
This exclusive technology solves the most common problem with hand sanitizer, which, despite being more essential than ever before, is frequently ignored as studies have found nearly 80% of people report dispensers to be empty.
The fixture features:
- AC power or power-over-ethernet. (No batteries required.)
- Cast aluminum construction; 5-year warranty
- Options for custom colors, metals and graphics
- PalmPilot sensor that precisely detects hands
- Refillable with any gel, saving companies up to 65% on monthly sanitizer costs.
- Recessed, wall-mounted or freestanding options
The fixture helps sustainably minded companies achieve their goals of creating healthier public spaces, as its durable all-metal construction replaces the endless array of single-use plastic hand sanitizer bottles.
