It is well known that the number one form of infectious disease is spread is through hand contact or cross-contamination of footwear; This is why the United States Center for Disease Control and governmental bodies all over the world recommend regular hand washing and the use of germicidal solutions and properly cleaned and sanitized footwear; One problem with such a recommendation, however, is the fact that clean water and soap or germicidal solutions are not always immediately available to those who need to clean their hands at the time and place of need; Same for the footwear, indeed, the creation of a germicidal device in the first instance was in large part to address this problem as people are able to transport and or keep a germicidal device worn on their wrist or ankles for constant availability with much greater ease than water and soap;
While the proliferation of germicidal solutions helped address the problem, it did not completely solve it; A problem that still exists because the use of germicidal solutions as presently implemented typically require a user to carry around a bottle containing such a solution or be in a close proximity to a germicidal solution or a wall mount or other stationary location; furthermore, it is understood that one issue which arises with carrying and pulling out a bottle of germicidal solution can often lead to contamination of the surface of the bottle as it would typically require a full hand to pull out, open, dispense, and put away; In addition, in some social settings, it is frowned upon to pull out bottled germicidal solutions after meeting an individual or group and shaking hands; Also FDA warns of methanol-tainted hand sanitizer—but can't force companies to recall it; Seventeen people have died in 2020 after being exposed to hand sanitizer made with methanol, a highly toxic chemical, the FDA says;
Glove Corporation—the world's largest producer of gloves by volume—is expecting profits to jump by up to 40% in its fiscal second half of 2020 due to a surge in demand amid the COVID-19 global pandemic; By December 2021, Top Glove is projected to have a total of 861 production lines and a capacity of 91 billion gloves per year; French nonprofit Opération Mer Propre, or Operation Clean Sea, warns ‘COVID waste’ could harm the environment by trigging a new wave of plastic pollution; Gloves are unrecyclable and millions end up in our landfills every year and our oceans; These disposable gloves can take decades to break down; Even gloves made from latex (a natural rubber) take a long time to biodegrade because other chemicals added to the gloves; The need for a replacement of the gloves and latex gloves are a must with something that is free of chemicals and toxins and safe for the environment;
The benefits of light therapy also known as phototherapy is a well-documented research and has been used worldwide for nearly a century; in Sep. 17, 2019, Little Sparrows Technologies, a neonatal medical device startup committed to promoting the well-being of newborns, announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the bili-hut™, The device features a unique curved light emitting diode (LED) illumination canopy that delivers high-intensity blue light phototherapy, This highly portable device allows newborns to effectively undergo jaundice treatment anywhere—at home or in a hospital setting, On Dec. 14, 2020. Little Sparrows Technologies announced that the trial results show the bili-hut™ neonatal phototherapy system delivered effective high intensity phototherapy for treating newborns in the home setting eliminating the need for infant hospital readmissions; The FDA has also approved various light sources for the treatment of dermatologic skin,
Recent studies demonstrate that various wavelengths in the blue spectrum are antimicrobial against the deadly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas, aeruginosa, Salmonella, Acinetobacter, baumannii, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Propionibacterium acnes, Neisseria, gonorrhoeae, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and others, like the recent outbreak of COVID-19, which continues to ravage communities with high death tolls and untold psychosocial and catastrophic economic consequences, is a vivid reminder of nature's capacity to defy contemporary healthcare; The pandemic calls for rapid mobilization of every potential tool, including phototherapy—one of the most effective treatments used to reduce the impact of the 1918 “Spanish influenza” pandemic; Several studies showing that phototherapy has immense potential to reduce the impact of coronavirus diseases and other infections; Now FAR-UV is safer and more effective than the existing 250 to 280 nm UVC systems; Columbia University has a 6 year study on FAR-UVC and they came to the finding that UVC, at 222 nm light or under is safe for us because it cannot even penetrate through the dead-cell layer on the surface of our skin or the tear layer on the surface of our eyes—but because bacteria and viruses are physically very small, 222 nm light does have enough penetration to efficiently kill them; Throughout the years, science has determined the effects of various ranges of wavelengths of light, but absorption has proven to be the key to cellular change; All cells are photo-receptive and can be stimulated at differing depths dependent upon wavelength;
Skin cells respond well to light therapy involving low level light due to the fact that cells reside just underneath the skin surface, making these low levels of energy able to reach the receptor sites and induce desired photochemistry to achieve beneficial results;
Consequently, Rigel is a product related to the accessories and technology and health sector; It refers to a new system model for protection against bacteria, virus and fungi that uses lights; Rigel method and device offers much more practicality and safety a way of control, inhibit, and abate bacteria, virus, and fungi preventing contamination, cross-contamination in areas like bus, METRO, restaurant table, bar counter, public bathroom, hospital, shopping in the supermarket, workstation, assembly line, etc;
