Disposable rubber gloves that are attached to a hand
shaped
disinfectant wipe on the inner palm. The porous palm
would
change color when it's time to change it because it's getting
too dry.
I think it would be possible for these to be good for a half
hour or so. Include them in a kit
you'd use for the day that
had a couple of face-masks, and maybe ten of these.

How much a pack ? Say, USD $49.99, plus shipping and handling ? |
|
| |
Sounds like a nice little earner. $2 for the masks, another $3 for the gloves. 25¢ for a custom-printed packet, another 25¢ for a malnourished pre-teen in a hot country far away to pack them. $1 a unit on advertising and promotion.... $6.50 total ... over 650% gross margin. |

OK, so it's less than apple rake in on the iphoney, but it might generate the deposit on a tropical island with a secret base under a volcano in a quite reasonable time ... |

I like it, but I do wonder if you have any ideas on the HOW
aspect of getting them to last half an hour? Kind of a WIBNI I
think. |
|
| |
They don't actually have to last half an hour; they only need to seem as if they do to the user. |
|
| |
Don't over-estimate the typical intelligence of your target demographic.... |
|
| |
Thats quite true of your typical Apple user! |

Hmm. I'll let you handle that one. Let me know when
we go public. I'll be out by the pool waiting for my
royalty checks. |
|
| |
Although I guess you could have a reservoir in the palm or
wrist or something. Reloads it whenever you grab
something. That's getting a bit complicated though. |
|
| |
I think this would just be for particular tasks, like going to
the grocery store to load up on toilet paper like a crazy
person. |
|
| |
You've clearly got a good understanding of your target market [doc]. Anxious, easily influenced, low self-esteem, poorly educated and of limited intelligence, lacking analytical reasoning but with enough disposable income and in large enough numbers to be worthwhile. |
|
| |
Then when you've reduced all the Democratic voters to destitution you can start on the rest.... |

More I think about this the more I think it might be
useful in one area, the medical profession. |
|
| |
Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals
regularly don rubber gloves for the duration of a
particular procedure. They handle computers,
diagnostic tools and medical instruments that
would benefit from being regularly sanitized by
this
product. |
|
| |
This gets rid of the window of usefulness issue as
well since much of a medical professional's use of a
pair of gloves is only a few minutes per task
anyway. A nurse comes in, weighs you, takes your
temperature, blood pressure and blood oxygen
level, then
asks you some questions they types into the
computer,
total time maybe 4 or 5 minutes. Everything the
nurse
touched during that routine would benefit by being
touched only by material soaked with disinfectant. |
|
| |
And oh yea, doctors and other medical
professionals use doorknobs and light switches too. |

I'm changing the title from: "Disinfectant Infused

| |
Also, the material would be non-slip as well as
absorbent. |
|
| |
Definitely, I agree great tests need to be done as to whether a wet sponge or dry sponge, backed by rubber, has the most friction. |
|
| |
Or a sponge made out of rubber? |
|
| |
Rubber gloves could be made inside out with an absorptive texture change on the outer surface. An indicator solution/ disinfectant could be sprayed on. |
|
| |
It still it seems a conflict between being moist to disinfect and dry to not slip. Rubber gloves are a pain when sweaty. |
