The Design Process
It’s well known that proper hand hygiene is not always practiced, even in the very places where it is most essential. One recent study published by Cambridge University found just 40% of healthcare workers followed recommended hand hygiene guidelines. Now that the pandemic has reinforced the need for us all to clean up our act, and given that leading researchers and practitioners have proven alcohol-based solutions are more efficient in reducing hand contamination than washing with antiseptic soap, the first place in need of reinvention is the hand sanitizer station.
Providing permanent, dependable, high-capacity dispensers is crucial to improving hand hygiene and reducing the spread of germs in facilities of any type.
The Vaask hand sanitizing fixture is quickly becoming indispensable in spaces that seek to reassure returning customers and staff. Designed as a permanent, built-in fixture, Vaask — a name inspired by the Norwegian word for ‘wash’ — makes hand hygiene desirable, thanks to its sleek, all-metal construction and expert engineering.
Sustainability
Vaask reduces the single-use plastics so common with hand sanitizer. In developing the permanent fixture, the company’s design engineers spoke with business owners who noted that plastic dispensers break after just a few months. Even touchless plastic dispensers tend to have issues with their infrared sensors and last only a couple of years. Vaask is built of cast aluminum and designed for frequent use. At the core of its design is a belief that a product should be repairable and waste-free. Vaask comes with a five-year warranty on all components, and all parts are designed to be repairable to extend the system’s life perpetually. Each high-capacity cartridge is recyclable and easily refilled or replaced. And let’s not forget that using hand sanitizer instead of hand washing is not only more effective at killing germs, it also helps conserve water.
Awards
The Vaask hand sanitizing dispenser solves a major problem and, as such, has earned numerous honors including the red dot, BDNY, TIME’s Best Inventions, Healthcare Design's top Product Innovation Award, Best New Healthcare Product of the Year by the Best in Biz Awards, and two Symposium Distinction Awards at the Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo, which recognized Vaask as both Most Sustainable Product and Architect’s Choice Product.
