Oral SteriCare UV Sanitizer unit ideal for travelling, camping or overnight stays to keep your toothbrush contamination free. Oral SteriCare uses an advanced Ultra Violet light technology to effectively clean your toothbrush. It may then be stored in the UV Santizer remaining clean until your next use. Oral Hygiene is an important part of health and disease prevention, just as important as washing your hands. Your toothbrush is a known source of bacteria and germs. The Oral SteriCare UV Sanitizer sanitizes your toothbrush head guarding against harmful bacteria that may cause disease. *Batteries are not included. The unit requires 2 x AAA batteries. We recommend quality alkaline batteries as the UV lamp draws quite a bit of power.
