What is Aqueous Ozone?
Aqueous ozone is a potent all-natural disinfectant with a proven track record spanning over 125 years. At 3Oe, we’ve developed an innovative solution to miniaturize the production of this powerful substance, making it accessible and efficient for modern use.
Aqueous ozone effectively eliminates a wide range of harmful pathogens, including viruses like coronavirus, norovirus, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacteria, fungi, spores, and other germs that cause illnesses in schools, hospitals, and public spaces. It even tackles resistant pathogens responsible for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections, such as MRSA.
Not only is aqueous ozone an exceptionally effective disinfectant, but it is also environmentally sustainable. It is created naturally when electricity interacts with water, leaving no harmful chemicals behind. This makes it a safe alternative to traditional disinfectants and cleaning agents.
After more than ten years of breakthrough research in material science, we have successfully developed an ozone generator capable of producing aqueous ozone on demand at therapeutic levels. This advancement allows for safe and effective hand sanitization and hygiene, providing a cleaner, healthier environment for all.
Powerful sanitization without damaging skin
Studies show that 90% of nurses experience some form of skin problems or irritations due to hand sanitization products. We generate ozone inside water, creating a powerful disinfectant that does not irritate, dry, or damage skin and also does not generate pathogen resistance. That’s because no additives or chemicals are present in our device to absorb through the skin. In our focus groups, healthcare professionals commented on how soft their skin felt after using the device.
Improved morbidity and mortality
We have completed in vitro tests on all pathogens required by the FDA for device approval and our device kills all tested bacteria, viruses, and fungal pathogens which are responsible for a reported 100,000 deaths in the US. With our effective solution, direction, and technology, we could see globally up to 70% reduction in HAIs and most importantly, the corresponding reduction in HAI-related preventable deaths.
Precious time and money saved
Hand washing studies with existing products show as much as 50 minutes per 8-hour shift for full compliance (2 minutes). Our device, however, only takes 30 seconds. This saved time could allow more patients to be seen, therefore, increasing overall revenue. Additionally, it is estimated that roughly each HAI costs an institution $200,000. Time is money and our device increases both.
