Touco

Minimize contact, maximize protection
Scientific reports say that Covid-19 pathogens may last up to 72 hours on surfaces. For this reason, people are looking for innovative devices to minimise contact. 
Touco solves this problem: it can be used on many surfaces so people can avoid touching them with their bare hands.

An ergonomic tool with… a tropical twist!
A colourful tool, Touco can be used in many different ways: pushing buttons, opening doors, can be an a hook for carrying shopping bags and even as a stylus for signing for deliveries on digital screens. Touco’s case has also a key ring.

The case allows to store the tool after use and prevents microorganism from passing to bag or pockets before sanitising.
The tool is made of PLActive so is inherently antimicrobial, which helps to decrease the risk of spreading germs while performing everyday tasks amid the pandemic. Also normal PLA can be used to make a Touco to the insulating case.
It has a great resistance and it can be 100% biodegradable(PLActive) or recyclable(PLA).
