Because it is crucial in our mind to confirm the high disinfecting performances of our products by independent specialists, we have made additional tests on our products INSTRUMENT FORTE and SURFACE FOAM according to the requirements of the German Society of Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM) and the Association for Applied Hygiene in Germany (VAH). Results are excellent and these two products are now included on the DGHM/VAH list. Same developments on other Helvemed products are scheduled for 2009.

The products that make up this assortment were developed in Switzerland with the help of the most modern molecules, so that their formulation meets the newest requirements as well as the latest environmental regulations. During the development phase of Helvemed’s products, perfect compatibility with all materials was also one of our top priorities. We are therefore happy to give you the benefit of the outstanding results that we have achieved in this area. More information is available under “products”. Please feel also free to order our new "HELVEMED DISINFECTION" catalogue.
