Support Hand Hygiene in High-Contact Settings

Hygiene tools designed for healthcare facilities and high-touch environments in Minneapolis.

Healthcare workers and staff in Minneapolis clinics, care facilities, and public-facing medical offices touch door handles, equipment, charts, and shared surfaces hundreds of times during a shift. Even with strict hand hygiene protocols, there are moments between handwashing when contact is unavoidable. Healthcare hygiene tools from Copper Touch provide a way to reduce direct surface contact during those in-between moments, complementing existing infection control practices without replacing any current procedures.

Developed by a Minnesota-based brand in Minneapolis and available nationwide, these tools are designed for environments where hygiene standards are elevated and mistakes have greater consequences. These tools ship nationwide, serving healthcare facilities throughout the United States who want to enhance their infection control measures. They are built for repeated use by staff who move frequently between patient rooms, workstations, and common areas. The tools do not require consumables, do not need batteries, and can be cleaned using the same disinfecting protocols already in place. They fit into pockets, scrub pockets, and equipment carts, making them accessible when gloves are off or when hands need an extra layer of protection.

If your facility in Minneapolis or anywhere in the United States is looking for practical ways to support hand hygiene between frequent surface contact, reach out to Copper Touch to learn how these tools integrate into clinical settings.

Built for environments where hygiene protocols are already in place

You use these tools in the moments right after removing gloves or between patient interactions when you need to open a door, adjust equipment, or access a shared workstation. In Minneapolis healthcare settings, where staff move quickly between rooms and tasks, these tools reduce direct hand contact with surfaces that multiple people touch throughout the day. They are designed to be cleaned with standard disinfecting wipes or solutions, so they fit into your existing hygiene routines without requiring new protocols or additional supplies. The products are available nationwide through direct shipping from our Minneapolis facility.

After introducing these tools, staff will notice that they have more control over their own hygiene during busy shifts. They will reach for door handles and shared surfaces with more confidence, and facilities will have one more layer of protection in place. The tools do not replace handwashing or glove use, but they reduce the frequency of direct contact between hands and high-touch surfaces.

The products are made from antimicrobial copper and are durable enough for clinical use. Staff can carry them throughout their shift and clean them as often as needed. There are no moving parts, no refills, and no maintenance schedule required. The focus is on reliability and ease of use in environments where time is limited and hygiene is non-negotiable.

Questions about using these in clinical settings

Healthcare administrators and infection control staff often want to know how these tools are cleaned, whether they meet safety standards, and how they fit into existing hand hygiene protocols. The answers below address the most common questions about implementing hygiene tools in medical environments.

What do healthcare hygiene tools help with?
They help reduce direct hand contact with high-touch surfaces such as door handles, equipment controls, charting stations, and shared workstations. This reduces the transfer of germs between handwashing or glove changes during busy shifts.
How do staff use these tools during their shift?
Staff keep them in their pockets or clipped to their scrubs and use them to press buttons, open doors, or handle shared surfaces. After use, they can wipe the tool down with a disinfecting solution or set it aside for cleaning at the end of their shift.
What are these products made from?
They are made from copper or copper alloys, which have natural antimicrobial properties. The material is durable, can be disinfected using standard healthcare protocols, and does not degrade with repeated cleaning.
How many tools does a clinic in Minneapolis need?
That depends on your staff size and how many patient rooms or shared areas you have. Some facilities provide one per staff member, while others place them in common areas such as nursing stations or near frequently used equipment.
Why use these instead of just following existing hand hygiene protocols?
These tools add a layer of protection without replacing any current protocols. They reduce surface contact before germs reach your hands, which means staff can rely less on gloves or handwashing for tasks that do not involve direct patient care.
