Why use ozone?
Ozone (O3) is a 100% all-natural gas that is very powerful. It:
· Rapidly oxidizes bacteria it comes in contact with, then converts safely back into Oxygen (O3). No nasty side effects for the environment.
· It effectively deodorizes, disinfects, and destroys pollutants, fungi, allergens, and odour-causing agents.
· Has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.
How does it work?
In the computer models shown above, we see how Ozone works. This is a close-up of a bacteria cell (1). Ozone, shown in green, comes into contact with the bacteria (2). Ozone penetrates the bacteria cell (3), forming a hole in the bacterial wall (4). Multiple molecules of Ozone create a series of holes in the bacteria (5). This leads to cell lysing and destruction of the bacteria cell (6). Unlike other treatments, ozonation does not allow the bacteria to mutate.

Proven results for hockey players.
Bacteria growth is highest and hardest to reach on the inside surfaces of sports gear. In fact, the typical skate and hockey glove has 100 times the bacteria of any other piece of gear.
The hand often sustains cuts and scrapes and is unprotected when placed inside bacteria-filled gloves.
This poses a high risk of infection.
Through independent lab testing, the Fresh Gear C40 has been proven very effective in killing bacteria in these difficult situations, as shown in the chart above (swabs were taken on the inside of gloves, skates and chest padding).
In these lab tests, bacteria counts(CFU) before the Fresh Gear process were greater than 1 million! Yet the C40 was up to the challenge and virtually eliminated the bacteria
