Abstract

See full text

A system and method for holding and sanitizing handheld implements. The system uses a container filled with a body of open cell foam. The body of the open cell foam has hollow shafts formed therein for holding the implements. The hollow shafts in the body of open cell foam are accessible through the open top of the container. A volume of a liquid disinfectant is poured into the container. The liquid disinfectant is at least partially absorbed by the body of open cell foam. This moistens the walls of the hollow shafts with disinfectant. As handheld implement is inserted into a hollow shaft, it is physically wiped and coated with the liquid disinfectant without being submerged in liquid disinfectant. When the implement is drawn out of the tubular shaft, it is clean, sanitized and ready to use without the need to dry.
