The Difference Between Traditional Mosquito Nets & OKnet
Traditional bednets require perfect use. OKnet is built for real-world use. A breakthrough redesign sharply increases adoption — directly translating into more lives saved.
Current Hanging Net
Easy.
- One-person setup: even a youngster
- Self-erects: eliminates training
- When unpacking, even 1st-time users clearly recognize the final shape
- End panels self-open, poles self-connect and user just attaches the pole to the panels
- Self-standing design allows for trouble-free repositioning
Difficult.
- Several adults are required for setup
- Requires expensive training
- When unpacking, even trained users can't recognize the final shape
- Users hammer nails into walls or ceiling, tie strings to the mesh fabric, attach them and adjust tension
- Repositioning is difficult because of the nails and strings
Safe.
- Protected: stand-alone frame keeps mesh fabric tight and away from skin
- Sealed: tensioned mesh fabric encloses and seals in users. Secures tightly to the mattress or pad
- Two ergonomic full-length doors for easy entry and exit
- Spring-assisted snap-shut doors keep mosquitoes out
- Durable: flexible end panels provide structural integrity, spread tension to prevent mesh tears
Dangerous.
- Exposed: mosquitoes bite through when skin contacts the loose mesh fabric
- Open: users must tuck loose mesh fabric under the mattress or pad, which is difficult from the inside
- No doors: users lift tucked-under mesh to get in and out, lifting the mesh fabric lets mosquitoes in
- Spring-assisted snap-shut doors keep mosquitoes out
- Fragile: structural failure occurs when user movements snap a string or tear the mesh fabric
Simple.
- Self-standing and only 2 lbs. so you can pick up and move anywhere
- Stronger design keeps working despite wear and tear
- Quick, 1-person disassembly: Remove and fold the pole, stack the end panels
- Easy storage: stacks in a flat 2-inch disk and fits almost anywhere
- In the field: anchors securely with no extra parts
Impractical.
- Can't be moved once installed, since it’s tied to walls by strings
- Unusable if any string or the mesh fabric is damaged
- Complex disassembly: Unhook multiple strings, fold the mesh fabric and try to pack it
- If not disassembled, it occupies space most homes cannot spare
- In the field: unstable even with additional supports
Efficient.
- Design can't be adapted beyond its intended use
- Cuts mesh fabric use in half, saving cost and bulk
- Adjustable design adapts to multiple sizes
- Nets per life saved = 50-100
- Cost per life saved = $200
Wasteful.
- Mesh fabric can be repurposed for other uses
- Uses more mesh fabric, which adds cost and weight
- Rigid design restricts both shape and size
- Nets per life saved > 500-1,000
- Cost per life saved = $4,500
