Dr. Crawford Speaks Out for SafeHands

December 27, 2008

My name is Dr. Jules Crawford. I have 2 veterinary clinics in Dalton, Georgia (www.daltonanimalcare.com). We started using SafeHands over a year ago in our clinics. I have several Veterinary Techs that are allergic to the alcohol in alcohol based hand sanitizers. They were apprehensive at first about trying this new product, but they will tell you that this is the BEST product for hand sanitizing. We used every form and fashion of Alcohol products and I can tell you that when you use an alcohol product multiple times per day it will dry and eat your hands up… Safehands non-alcoholic formula will not do this. In fact my hands look as if I were using a hand lotion! I can’t say enough about Safehands’ non alcoholic hand sanitizer. It is very economical to use. We have handsfree dispensers now in both of the clinics. We also liked the product so much that we took on the Point of Purchase program to sell to our clients.

Keep Alcohol out of the Hands of Children

December 19, 2008

SafeHands introduction of their alcohol-free instant hand sanitizers coincides with recent bans on alcohol-based hand sanitizers in schools as well as the national television coverage of a four year old child who became intoxicated from licking the hand sanitizer just applied to her hands by her teacher. SafeHands has launched its proprietary products nationwide with the manufacturing and distribution support of JF Daley International, a leading supplier to the food and healthcare industries, as well as other top distribution networks, such as Sysco, McKesson and Diebold.

Dr. Jay Reubens, a known expert in hand sanitation and developer of the first patented touch-free hand wash dispenser, is President and Founder of SafeHands, Inc. He recently stated, “The recent news coverage of alcohol-based sanitizers highlights a problem that affects the greater public served by the health and food service industries.” Employees in these critical industries are finding it difficult to follow both legally mandated and industry standard protocols because of the painful and drying effects of the frequent use of alcohol hand sanitizers. SafeHands has conducted scientific studies in independent labs that validated that multiple daily use of alcohol- based instant hand sanitizers can crack hands which trap germs and ultimately increase the potential for cross contamination.

Dr. Reubens’ early interest in hand sanitizing stemmed from his personal experience as a practicing dentist, owning a large multi-chair office. He commented, “I experienced the drying and painful effects of alcohol sanitizers like everyone else in my office and felt that I was putting myself, staff and patients at risk of cross contamination. While developing SafeHands, Dr. Reubens studied the possible relationship between the rising incidence of nosocomial (hospital acquired) infection and food borne illness with the increase use in alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

Through his research, Dr. Reubens concluded that employees are forsaking frequent hand sanitizing because the alcohol based products they are required to use cause pain and discomfort. Dr. Reubens stated that, “I created SafeHands as a soothing alternative to current alcohol-based hand sanitizers to encourage greater compliance with hand sanitizing requirements”. Dr. Reubens further stated, “SafeHands is alcohol-free, non-toxic, non-drying, non-flammable with an approved germ-killing agent scientifically tested and proven superior to alcohol-based.”

SafeHands(R), Inc. is a technology driven, privately held company that is focused on the rapidly growing instant hand sanitizing market. SafeHands is entering the industrial market including food service and health care where workers are required to use hand sanitizers throughout the day. SafeHands products are marketed for “Multiple Daily Use” to address the problems of red, dry and cracked hands that result from frequent use of alcohol based instant hand sanitizers.
