Daily tasks once taken for granted— opening doors, flushing toilets, using keyboards and more have now all taken on a new meaning. The HYGICARD is all new everyday carry solution that can help users navigate daily life while avoiding infectious pathogens lurking on common surfaces.
“I was so afraid of catching a virus that I had been using my credit card to open doors— that’s how the idea came to me. I then began researching for hours on the best hard and antimicrobial materials to come up with the properties for the HYGICARD,” says co-founder and CEO David Padilla Tundidor on the inspiration behind the project. “My detailed investigation concluded that copper and brass had antimicrobial properties; and from there I started to design and sketch the blueprints and immediately went to my workshop to create my first sample pieces in methacrylate. I went to CNC and quickly distributed the first pieces among my friends and family to test out. After only a few days, I received remarkable feedback!”
The HYGICARD Tool is a next generation, contact-free gadget that acts as a frontline barrier between people and germs. Capable of pushing, pulling, pressing, and acting as a digital stylus— the HYGICARD has a smaller footprint than a credit card making it the ultimate EDC tool for daily life.
