PCT No. PCT/US92/09201 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 15, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 16, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/08588 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 29, 1993.A bioconditioning germicidal dryer for the hands and lower arms has two portals which allows the hands and forearms to be comfortably extended laterally into the chamber. The working chamber has a source of ultraviolet light with a spectral output weighted at a 253.7 nm. Air is introduced through one or more vents in a second heated chamber connected to said working chamber. Preheated air is then drawn past the ultraviolet light source, where it is germicidally cleansed, into the working chamber, and leaves the working chamber through the portals. Because of the combination of (a) ultraviolet light, (b) closed chamber environment, (c) warm air and (d) chamber geometry induced turbulent air flow patterns, the hands and arms are germicidally cleansed and gently dried without dehydration of the skin normally found in germicidal washing.
