An innovative hand-held device which helps stop coughers from spreading
germs is being introduced to the US and Canadian market by the MacVrs Group.
MacVrs Group, a health product design/manufacturing
company, announced today that it has entered into several agreements, one with
Florida-based Mr. Checkout Distributors Inc. to have the device distributed
through 125,000 grocery and convenience stores across the US and Canada, and
two other large North American Pharmacy chains.
The device -- Safe Cough™ -- is a lightweight, recyclable, compact
filtering device which helps stop the spread of germs and other airborne
viruses and bacteria associated with the common cold and influenza.
Mr.
Checkout Distributors Inc. is a unique, 20-year old group of
direct-store-delivery (DSD) retail merchandisers, wholesale suppliers,
manufacturers, wholesale-to-distributors, food and beverage distributors, and
wholesalers currently servicing 44,000 stores. Mr. Checkout also works with an
additional 250 distributors who represent up to 100,000 retail stores.
Here’s how SafeCough™ works. It is worn on the middle finger
allowing the compact unit to rest inside the palm. When the wearer feels a
cough coming on, they cough into the mouthpiece of Safe Cough™. Once what
is coughed enters the unit, 99.9% of the germs are divided through 100 air
holes and filtered through an activated bamboo charcoal reduction filter – just
like those used in air purifiers or water bottles. The end result is
safe, clean, air exiting the SafeCough™ device.
When not in use, the SafeCough™ device rests snugly and comfortably on
the inside of the palm and does not interfere with daily activities.
Andrew MacBain, President and CEO
of the MacVrs Group, said he was concerned about the recent outbreaks of
airborne diseases and was surprised that there was nothing on the market for
families to deal with cough containment. "Our SafeCough™
unit contains
and kills the majority of your germs and are disposable at your
discretion. When using SafeCough™,
you will
no longer be infecting others with your cough, this will be beneficial to
everyone."
