In 2011, Steve Tracanna was a dedicated hockey player when a routine practice turned into a medical emergency. Bacteria from his own gear infected his elbow, spread through his bloodstream, and nearly cost him his arm. He spent days in the hospital, lost 16 pounds, nearly went septic, and faced over $85,000 in medical bills. His doctors traced it directly back to his equipment. A proper disinfectant made for athletes didn't exist — so he built one.
