Web links

Do a Web search using Google or another good search engine using key words carefully such as "Jonathan Savitt" or "Ozonex" and you will see some of the valuable publicity the company gained through having its innovation recognised.

Here’s a competitor company selling to a very different niche market - http://www.oral-bkids.com

Here’s another electrifying competitor selling on hygiene appeal and claiming research backup. Do you know what ionic means? Can you find out? Do you think it is as serious an advantage as the hole in the Ozone brush? Is the Ionic brush better than other toothbrushes - is this what their research suggests? - http://www.ionicbrush.com/

If you enter "venturi effect" (don’t forget the speech marks) into a search engine you’ll find a large number of products that rely on this in their operation.
