Until present times, little thought has been given to the transmission of bacteria and viruses through self-service touch kiosks and credit card terminal screens.  The recent COVID-19 outbreak has provided insight into the significant disease transmission risk posed by these public devices.  Current cleaning protocols may be effective in the short term; however, it is well known that screen technology materials will not hold up in the long term with repeated exposure to disinfecting chemicals.  Thus, as society adapts to new ways of life that aim to prevent disease transmission, the use of stylus tools will become more prevalent.  

 

To meet this newfound societal need, Neo-Techne LLC has developed a patent pending Safe Use Disposable Stylus (SUDS) to eliminate human touch of public electronic devices.  The stylus is simple and easy to use while selecting buttons on a kiosk touchscreen or signing a name on a credit card terminal.  The stylus is constructed of a minimal amount of recyclable conductive plastic to form a truly economical and environmentally friendly single use product that helps prevent the spread of disease as people shop for everyday needs. 

​

We look forward to the opportunity to be part of the solution to stop the spread of COVID-19 as well as prevent future disease outbreaks.  Keep your hands clean with SUDS!
