About the VIOlight Toothbrush Sanitizer
The VIOlight is an easy-to-use, compact toothbrush holder that requires only the push of a button to operate. A toothbrush (or toothbrushes, depending on the model) is inserted into the VIOlight canister after use; the button is pressed, and the unit projects UV-C light onto the toothbrush head, bristles, and handle for 10 minutes. The unit is designed so that the UV-C rays are concentrated and focused downward onto the bristles, allowing minimal light to escape the unit and therefore preventing exposure to UV light when in use. A study conducted by an independent microbiological laboratory, as well as another conducted at the New York University College of Dentistry, revealed that after ten minutes of exposure to the UV-C light, 99% of all pathogens are destroyed, and the toothbrush(es) is sanitized, germ-free, and ready to use again.
