The Stand-Alone toothbrush from Health Trends LLC. (See photo in product catalog section.) We offer a new, patented toothbrush design which stands by itself without any support to promote convenience, improved oral health care and which serves as an important and highly effective promotional product. Health Trends is committed to the improved convenience and health care in the creation of its toothbrushes, which have won the Gold Medal at the largest new-products international trade show held in America. All toothbrushes manufactured by Health Trends use high-quality soft bristles, and contain a patented device built into the handle which, when easily and quickly deployed allows the toothbrush to stand by itself. This eliminates the need for any holder, such as a drinking glass or other similar holders which collect and hold disease-causing pathogens and dried caked -on toothpaste. The new design conforms to the Center for Disease Control standard for proper toothbrush care and maintenance. Many diseases can be acquired through the transfer of bacteria, germs, viruses from from one toothbrush to another and from other surfaces to the toothbrush. Our design virtually eliminates contact with all surfaces, and promotes cleanliness, convenience, ease-of-use, and greatly-improved health care. In addition, because of its stand-alone statue-like feature, promotional items, such as company logos, products, trademarks and the like can be placed on the tip of the handle. A superior health-care and promotional product--and well-deserving of the Gold Medal it was awarded at a tradeshow of over 1100 products .
