Invent Tech’s Summary

Invention Support has signed a strategic alliance with Russ Brown, the inventor of the new device known as "Clip-On Sanitizer", to offer support for this great new invention and to proudly introduce it into the general market.

The basic idea behind the Clip-On Sanitizer is that it would help hospital workers maintain the cleanliness of their hands in a more convenient manner. The device is a light weight metal canister held in place by a rubber/plastic holder that is contoured to fit the wearer.

The history of market developments which have led to the idea for the Clip-On Sanitizer are many. They began, however, with the invention of the hand sanitizing solution that is most popularly distributed by the Purell company. The invention proposed by Russ for the Clip-On Sanitizer may be a way of extending the convenience of products such as the Purell sanitizer into a more widespread use by the general public and by health professionals.

Demand for infection prevention products and services in the United States will grow 4.6 percent yearly through 2009. Surgical drapes and gowns, hand sanitizers and powder-free gloves will be among the top performers. Services will outpace products overall, led by contract sterilization. The hospital market will remain dominant while drug companies lead gains.

More than 2 million hospital-acquired infections occur in the United States every year, carrying a price tag of $4.5 billion. This is a $9.4 billion US infection prevention industry. Also significant to the development of market potential for the Clip-On Sanitizer is the recent news of the sales of Vi-Jon's Germ-X hand sanitizer which has jumped 500 percent. While the flu flattens thousands nationwide, it's making sales soar at one local company.

Indeed, the huge amount of marketing success that has come about in relation to hand sanitizers in general is evidence of a hugely expanding market potential for a device such as the Clip-On Sanitizer.
