seems over-engineered considering you could just use your sleeve (but of course you can't make money off of that idea). that's what I have been doing for years in any public toilet anyway. the odd time I don't have long sleeves I just use the end of my shirt. if the handle was too high for that I would just put my fingers through without touching and use my palm so at least the germs would be less likely to end up on my finger tips. the other problem with this design is that someone could just grab onto it to open the door instead of using the handle, and then you are pretty much back to square one that's just my 2 cents anyway. I'm no expert on germs
