Why Sharklet?

Healthcare professionals use a variety of tools to combat dangerous infections. These include:

Personal maintenance – Washing your hands, using hand sanitizer, avoiding contact with eyes and face

Antibiotics – Powerful medications that kill bacteria

Chemicals – Sprays and solutions meant to sterilize surfaces

These precautions are effective and work most of the time – but each has a shortfall. The passenger next to you on the train is not as diligent with hand washing as you would hope. The door handle has all sorts of bacteria on the surface, even between cleanings. Antibiotics are effective, but eventually some strains of bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Using chemicals comes with a heavy cost, between their environmentally unfriendly manufacturing and dangerous side effects.

Sharklet is the solution. The antibacterial properties of Sharklet are not a result of harsh chemicals or antibiotics – they are purely structural. This is due to the unique shape and configuration of the Sharklet micropattern.
