This would never keep me from using a towel to open a restroom door after I’ve washed my hands.
Nobody ever says, “my hands are dirty, but I’m not going to wash them.” People who don’t wash are going to look at this, say to themselves, “my hands are clean enough, and I don’t want to use the gross handle,” thus defeating the point.
There is also a design that let’s u use your arm to open the door, (for doors without latches)
I think that might inspire someone to make the “clean” handle really, really dirty. There’s one in every crowd…

Also, eww. Even if my hands were clean, I feel like touching a plastic handle in a bathroom setting would be disgusting.
@Holger_Foerster , as Justin said; please include a small blurb of text on whatever this is. How you came to think of designing it, where to download the model, etc – all very helpful things.
Bath doors should push to open… would not need a handle. Some do not have doors.
@P_Grimm yes! Why is this never the design?
Yes dual hinged doors, but architect and state laws vary!!!
A lot of places won’t allow a door to swing “out”, especially into a hallway, since there’s a good chance of smacking someone. Every now and then, I see a public bathroom door with a little attachment at the bottom that lets you open the door with your foot. Seems like a good idea!
