With the pandemic becoming endemic, this device will show your guests you care about their health and safety. The Vaask touchless hand sanitizing fixture makes hand hygiene convenient and offers customizable finishes and logo options to complement the style of your facility. The aim is to provide your guests and management with a better experience:
  • AC power or POE (no batteries required)
  • Cast aluminum; 5-year warranty.
  • PalmPilot sensor that precisely detects hands
  • Large capacity; refillable with any sanitizer gel.
  • Customizable colors, metals and graphics.
  • Recessed, wall-mounted or freestanding.
  • Manufactured in America

Providing reliable, high-capacity sanitizing dispensers is crucial to improving hand hygiene and reducing the spread of germs, which in one day can multiply from a single germ to 8 million, something to consider when dealing with cards, chips and slot machine handles. Not surprisingly, studies have found bacteria, fungi and E. coli on statistically significant levels on all of the above, despite gaming facilities’ rigid cleaning protocols.

In fact, the owner of one chip cleaning company described just how filthy they can be: “When a chip is dropped into the water, a gray cloud of dirt rises alongside hundreds of microscopic bubbles.” But the logistics of cleaning chips and other gaming necessities are complicated, which is why it makes sense to go straight to the source of the germs.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends hand sanitizer over hand washing in common situations, and Vaask presents an easy, effective and economical solution.

Within months of its debut, Vaask has been honored with nearly 20 awards, including the Red Dot, BDNY, TIME’s Best Inventions and Healthcare Design’s Product Innovation awards. The Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo honored Vaask with both its Architect's Choice and Most Sustainable Product awards.
