Without proper sterilisation, there can be 80 times more bacteria on a toothbrush than on a toilet. UV-Shield helps to keep the toothbrushes separate from each other, preventing the bristles of toothbrushes from coming into contact with each other. With the help of UV-C technology, when the toothbrush is placed upside down in the device, the holder disinfects it. The UV-Shield is modular in design, with each module transmitting power to the next one by magnetic induction, so it’s enough to have one connected to a mains power source.
