Entry Description

The Wrizzle wristband contains gel hand sanitizer. Gently squeezing the band releases a drop into the palm of the hand to disinfect both hands. The C-shaped wristband easily attaches to the wrist without touching the veins to comfortably fit most adult wrist sizes. Refill it daily using the refill bottle that comes with it. The flip caps make the dispenser leak proof and easy to use.

This design inspired from the Covid-19 crisis to change the paradigm for people to sanitize their hands frequently. The use of a refillable dispenser made from recycled plastic reduces the amount of plastic waste
