1. A non-contact fluid dispenser comprising:
a compressible container configured to hold a volume of fluid;
a conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end in fluid communication with the volume of fluid, wherein the second end is in fluid communication with an outlet; and
a valve configured to release fluid from the volume of fluid through the conduit, wherein the valve is operable without the use of a hand of a user;
wherein the non-contact fluid dispenser is configured to be fastened to the user,
wherein the valve includes a base and a button depressably connected to the base,
wherein the base includes a pinch-type momentary control mechanism, said pinch-type momentary control mechanism being configured to apply pressure to the conduit when the button is not depressed such that the fluid is prevented from passing through the valve when the button is not depressed, and
wherein a variable depression of the button is configured to open the valve proportionally to the depression to allow the fluid to pass through the valve,
wherein the valve is configured to slide along the conduit in both a proximal and distal direction.
