Our first product, The Copper Shark™, is a device that was born out of necessity. When Jason and Jolene Seidel, the founders of Cu Healthy Products, LLC™, got the discouraging news that Jolene had stage 3 colon cancer in February of 2012, they knew that her immune system would be compromised as well. Jason sought any avenue possible to help supplement her health with hand washing when she had to visit the doctor or go to the hospital. Jolene does not like using hand sanitizers, and the high alcohol content coupled with her chemotherapy dried out her skin and made her skin irritable. After researching the properties of MD-Cu29 antimicrobial copper, Jason set out to develop a solution. Thus, the Copper Shark was created. Jolene began using hers consistently, and no longer has to be paranoid about what she touches in public places, because she does not “touch” them at all. The Copper Shark™ has been designed to open handicap and lever style door handles, flush toilets and turn on faucets in public bathrooms, push elevator buttons, and any number of other devices that is handled, but rarely cleaned and disinfected, in public places.Thankfully Jolene’s cancer is now in remission, but she continues to use her Copper Shark™.
