Glo
GermTM 
In this age of concern over many types
of infectious diseases, Glo Germ™ stands
out as an effective way to show your students, staff and even yourself, just how
easy it is to overlook proper handwashing and cleaning. Not enough can be said
about how important cleanliness and proper handwashing are to keep infections
from being spread.
Glo Germ™ is a
product that helps you teach handwashing, isolation techniques, aseptic
techniques and general infection control.
Since 1968 Glo Germ™ has
provided teaching hospitals, long-term care facilities, food service, day-care,
public school systems, clinics and other institutions with this unique product.
The proven safe inert ingredients in the Glo
Germ™ lotion or powder cast a revealing
glow when exposed to standard UV light. Glo
Germ™ gives a visual demonstration to show
when improper cleaning or handwashing has taken place.
Glo Germ™ is also
great for the demonstration of contamination/transmission of germs.
The Glo Germ™
kit
contains a bottle of oil, a bottle of powder and an ultra-violet lamp. The oil
and powder contain the plastic germs, and the lamp lets you become the
"germ detective"!
It's Easy to Use!
To use the kit for handwash training, the oil is put
on the student's hands like hand lotion. This spreads thousands of tiny plastic
fluorescent "germs" on their hands. Then, as the student works through
your normal handwashing procedure, the fluorescent lamp may be used to spot the
remaining "germs." Under the lamp, the plastic "germs" glow
brightly so that they may be easily seen by the student.
To use the Glo
Germ™ Powder to demonstrate surface
cleaning, shake a small amount of powder onto a surface, lightly dusting it over
the entire area. Clean the surface until all the visible powder is gone. Pass
the ultra-violet lamp over the surface and the remaining traces of the powder
will glow in the areas that weren't washed thoroughly.
To use the powder to show how germs are spread, shake a small amount of powder
into the palm of your hand and shake hands with several other people. Use the
ultra-violet lamp to demonstrate that you have transferred "germs" to
them.
