DISINFACTS | Issue 1/2022

13 FORUM ZEIT Publishing Group ory Protect & Care disinfection gel, which is available in pharmacies, was recently introduced especially for use at home and on the go. The latest product in the Sterillium® brand family underlines the permanent innovative spirit for which the Sterillium® brand name has stood from the very beginning: Sterillium® revolutionised hand hygiene in 1965 and set standards in terms of effectiveness and compatibility. It was the world’s first marketable alcohol-based hand disinfectant that was both highly effective and gentle on the skin. Since then, the Sterillium® brand family has stood for constant innovation and for many “firsts” in the hand disinfectant category: Sterillium® classic pure, for example, was one of the first dye- and fragrance-free hand disinfectants on the market. In 2005, Sterillium® was the first hand disinfectant to be approved for surgical hand disinfection with a reduced contact time of only 1.5 minutes instead of 3 minutes. Worldwide acceptance – partners of the Allianz Arena The broad efficacy as well as the very good skin compatibility of all Sterillium® products also have a significant effect on their acceptance: Sterillium® is now available in more than 50 countries. And even before the Coronavirus pandemic, more than four billion hand disinfections were performed annually with Sterillium® products. However, Sterillium® – and with it the entire topic of hand hygiene – has now also arrived in public life as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. “Infection prevention is not only a topic for professional users. Our holistic solutions around the Sterillium® brand are intended to offer concrete benefits today and in the future in the healthcare sector, but also in the private sphere,” says Alexander Schwieger. In order to be able to hold events safely, holistic hygiene concepts are now required. As an innovation leader in the field of hand and surface disinfection, HARTMANN has therefore been the official hygiene partner of the Allianz Arena since the start of the current football season. This means that two world-renowned brands are now working hand in hand when it comes to infection prevention: FC Bayern München and Sterillium®. A visible sign of this alliance, which will also stand for the “new normal” after the end of the pandemic: The record champion’s stadium, which seats more than 75,000 people, was completely equipped with Sterillium® and matching disinfectant dispensers.
