Sterillium is one of the proven alcohol-based hand sanitizers for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection. The products are designed to reliably reduce germs and combine a broad spectrum of activity with good skin tolerance. Depending on the variant, Sterillium disinfectants differ in their active ingredient base, composition, and intended use. For example, Sterillium Med, Sterillium Classic Pure, and Sterillium Gel Pure are suitable for different needs in medical practices, hospitals, healthcare settings, and everyday life.

Many Sterillium hand sanitizers are effective against enveloped viruses, which include coronaviruses. The key factor is always the specified spectrum of activity for the respective product, such as “limited virucidal,” “limited virucidal PLUS,” or “virucidal.” For professional settings, the selection should be based on the hygiene plan, area of use, and the manufacturer’s instructions. Products such as Sterillium Med or Sterillium Virugard may be suitable choices depending on the requirements.

Apply Sterillium to dry hands and spread it carefully over the entire surface of the hands. Make sure to completely cover the fingertips, thumbs, spaces between the fingers, palms, backs of the hands, and nail folds. Keep your hands moist during the specified contact time to ensure that the hand sanitizer works effectively. The exact amount and contact time depend on the specific Sterillium product and the instructions on the packaging.

Sterillium is known for its good skin tolerance and is frequently used in settings where hand sanitization is a regular necessity. However, sensitive or already irritated skin may react to alcohol-based sanitizers. Fragrance- and dye-free versions such as Sterillium Classic Pure or Sterillium Med may be a suitable choice for sensitive skin. If skin irritation persists, review your use of the product and seek professional advice if necessary.
