Disinfection & Cleaning

Effective Protection against Pathogens, Viruses, and Germs

Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, proper hygiene is a central issue. Disinfectants can help reduce the risk of infection by viruses, as well as bacteria or fungi.

Disinfection is particularly important in the medical field. It is crucial to prevent the transmission of pathogens and to stop the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as MRSA.

Disinfectants are used to kill or inactivate pathogens. The respective product descriptions indicate which disinfectants are listed according to DGHM (German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology), VAH (Association for Applied Hygiene), or RKI (Robert Koch Institute).

In addition, you can find the spectrum of activity of each disinfectant on the disinfectant label:

• bactericidal: effective against bacteria
• fungicidal: effective against fungi
• limited virucidal: effective against enveloped viruses, such as Hepatitis B or C viruses and HIV
• limited virucidal plus: effective against enveloped viruses and some non-enveloped viruses that are particularly common in clinics and care facilities
• virucidal: effective against all viruses, such as the coronavirus or norovirus

Our range of disinfectants and professional cleaning supplies extends from products for hand and skin disinfection to simple distilled water (Aqua Dest) and double-distilled water (Aqua Bidest), pharmaceutical isopropanol, specialized cleaners for instrument disinfection, and medical surface disinfectants.

We offer many of these highly effective disinfectants for skin, surfaces, devices, and instruments in various sizes and quantities. In addition to liquid solutions, our extensive range at Medicalcorner24 also includes cleansing disinfection wipes.

Versatile Applications - Areas of Application for Disinfectants

The variety of different disinfectants is primarily due to the breadth of application areas. In particular, hand disinfectants have become indispensable in daily life, aiming to ensure hygiene during interactions among multiple people and prevent the spread of viruses. However, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the areas of disinfection were diverse:

Household - Disinfectants for the Home

Medicalcorner24 offers a variety of different disinfectants that can be safely integrated into everyday life in your own home. A germ-free home generally provides the following benefits:

• If a household member or family member is suffering from a highly contagious infection, disinfectants help break the chain of infection.
• If the risk of infection is particularly high for individuals with weakened immune systems, cleaning with disinfectants can help protect them.
• To minimize the spread of germs, viruses, and bacteria.
• Regular disinfection of frequently used household items (e.g., smartphone, laptop, remote control, telephone, table, countertop) reduces the risk of infection with harmful pathogens.

What types of disinfectants are available?

Depending on the application area, manufacturers of medical products have suitable disinfectants to meet specific disinfection properties and requirements.

Hand and Skin Disinfectants

Hand and skin disinfection prevents pathogens from being transferred from one person to another using disinfectants. Hand disinfectants are an effective means of interrupting infection chains and are an important part of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. They can be used in liquid form, as hand disinfectant gel, or as convenient disinfectant wipes. You can find hand disinfectants in various sizes and versions at Medicalcorner24®.

Before invasive procedures, punctures, injections, and blood collection, the skin must be disinfected to prevent germs, viruses, and bacteria from entering the open wound. Usually, a skin disinfectant is sprayed onto the skin, but it can also be applied with a swab.

What properties should hand and skin disinfectants have?

• Especially gentle on the skin
• Disinfectants with nurturing components
• Optimal for everyday work in clinics and medical practices
• No cumulative long-term effects
• Special skin-compatible properties such as moisturizers

Our hand disinfectants are suitable for germ-free hands and surgical hand disinfection!

Surface Disinfection

In clinics, medical practices, gastronomy, and care facilities, floors, inventory, and surfaces must be regularly disinfected. Surface disinfection for wiping or spraying acts quickly and eliminates dirt and germs from the treated surface. Disinfection cleaner concentrates mixed with water are usually used for disinfecting floors and large surfaces. For disinfecting smaller areas, equipment, and dispensers, ready-to-use surface disinfectants and disinfectant wipes are commonly used. Often, so-called disinfection cleaners are used, which clean and disinfect in just one step.

What properties should surface disinfectants have?

• Protection against everyday germs
• Suitable for sensitive materials
• Odor-binding properties
• Ready to use
• Disinfection of common surfaces
