Pull Clean
A HOSPITAL DOOR HANDLE THAT SANITIZES HANDS WITH A TOUCH
PullClean, was developed by the British studio Agency of Design for Altitude Medical. It's a simple column that can be fitted on any pull door, with a blue paddle on bottom that dispenses a dab of hand sanitizer when pushed. The aim, the designers explain, is to "make it so simple that sanitizing becomes habitual every time you open the door."
