Alabama doctor invents hand-sanitizer-dispensing wristband

The device could be helpful in combating illnesses commonly spread by hand, such as the flu, the common cold and food poisoning


A wristband that releases hand sanitizer has been developed by an Alabama doctor, according to an article on the CleanLink website.

Dr. Stephen Chandler created "SaniStrap" so people could carry around hand sanitizer and apply it multiple times a day, reports WVLT in Knoxsville, Tennessee. Chandler said hopes the refillable wristband will help people as they re-enter the workforce.

Chandler says SaniStrap could be helpful in combating illnesses commonly spread by hand, such as the flu, the common cold and food poisoning.

He is currently having thousands of the wristbands made.
