A look at the development of the experts of the hygiene world
In general, your personal needs and preferences play the biggest role when choosing a hand disinfectant. A propanol-based hand disinfectant may feel better on your skin than an ethanol-based product, or vice versa. This is completely subjective. Or you like your perfume or after-shave and don't want to use a product whose scent conflicts with it. Then an odourless product is the better choice for you. The most important thing is: no matter which properties you prefer, you don't have to sacrifice quality with any of our products.
Furthermore, the members of the Sterillium® family differ in their spectrum of microbiological activity (i.e. in their range of efficacy) – although all are highly effective against coronaviruses due to their high alcohol content. In other words, the entire product family protects against bacteria (bactericidal), yeasts (levurocidal), mycobacteria (tuberculocidal and mycobactericidal), enveloped viruses (limited virucidal) as well as against the non-enveloped Noro-, Rota- and Adenoviruses (limited spectrum of virucidal activity). More information about the Sterillium® spectrum of efficacy and the different types of viruses can be found here.
Classic Sterillium® stands for alcohol-based hand disinfection and infection prevention. The brand was developed in 1965 as the world's first alcohol-based hand disinfectant proven to be highly effective yet gentle on the skin. It is the perfect companion for anyone in healthcare or caring for relatives.
These two professional hand disinfectants are further developments of the classic product. However, they differ from the original in one decisive factor: Both are dye- and fragrance-free and therefore highly suitable for sensitive or allergic skin. Just right for those who require the proven skin care complex but don't want the characteristic fragrance. Both products have the typical blue bottles – but the liquids themselves are dye-free.
Sterillium® med combines some of the above-mentioned advantages of our hand disinfectants and relies on a highly effective formulation with 85% ethanol. With the full virucidal activity*, this product successfully inactivates the most common causes of virus-related outbreaks. Sterillium® med is the ideal hygienic disinfection partner in the ward for year-round use.

The practical hand disinfection wipe for on-the-go, suited for all health care professions requiring a hygiene plan, such as physicians or kindergartens.

The Sterillium® Protect & Care disinfectant gel for hands is suitable for daily private use. The gel consistency of this product makes it family-friendly: nothing can leak when on-the-go. Special advantage: The gel can be taken on an airplane, making it the ideal travel companion.
