Sterillium has advanced hand hygiene and has been synonymous with effective and skin-compatible hand disinfection for 60 years now. With its smart combination of efficacy, science and skin compatibility, Sterillium offers reliable protection against pathogens for everyone. The further development of the brand has been setting new standards for decades.
The success story of Sterillium began in 1965 when the first bottle was filled. Since then, Sterillium, the first and one of the leading hand disinfectants, has permanently changed everyday clinical, nursing and medical practice and has become one of the most successful hand disinfectants in the world.
Hand hygiene for those who want better
Before Sterillium, hand disinfection to protect against healthcare-associated infections was a time-consuming and skin-irritating process. Minutes of scrubbing and rinsing with high-potency alcohol led to hand eczema and low hand hygiene acceptance. This changed abruptly with the introduction of Sterillium and its unique formulation. Once the volatile alcohols have evaporated, the moisturisers remain on the skin to deliver their benefits. In addition to its efficacy, Sterillium's good skin compatibility is an important compliance factor for users.1,2 The improved skin health significantly increases hand hygiene compliance and contributes to improved infection protection for patients.3
Always those who matter in mind
Since its launch 60 years ago, Sterillium hand hygiene has continued to reinvent hand hygiene and set new standards. As a result, Sterillium is not only synonymous with effective hand disinfection, but also a pioneer in innovation and skincare. Always with people in mind, Sterillium offers protection and care not only to healthcare professionals, but to every consumer in every situation. To mark its 60th anniversary, the brand has been modernised to make it even easier to use. The new claim "Sterillium. In safe hands." reflects what Sterillium has meant to users around the world for six decades.
Use disinfectant safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
