Disinfect the OR - with water?

It works - at least as well or even better than with toxic disinfectants. That is why renowned medical institutions disinfect their hygienic high-risk areas with IWH hydrological products.

Stable.

In the middle of the 18th century, Ignaz Semmelweiß introduced the first hygiene standards at the Vienna General Hospital. Almost two hundred years later, the renowned university hospital uses IWHMed©710 to disinfect the entire facility - especially for the operating theaters and the surgical instruments.

Medical disinfection

IWHMed©710

IWHMed© 710 reliably eliminates all bacteria, fungi and viruses. It can be used for the disinfection of surfaces and instruments in high-risk hygienic environments (hospitals, doctor's offices, quarantine and testing stations).
 

Despite the fact that IWHMed©710 is a purely natural product, it is ten times more effective than, for example, chlorine dioxide.

Gentle on the skin

Constant disinfection with toxic disinfectants puts a heavy strain on the health of hospital staff and their patients. The drying out caused by the alcohol contained accelerates skin aging and helps pathogens to penetrate the damaged skin more quickly. Triclosan and the parabens it often contains promote the development of cancer cells.

 

Toxic disinfectants represent a health risk that should not be underestimated, especially for the weakest among patients.
