Healthcare settings face constant hygiene challenges. Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remains one of the greatest priorities globally. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 15 out of every 100 hospitalized patients in low—and middle-income countries acquire at least one HAI. These infections prolong hospital stays, drive antimicrobial resistance, and increase both human and economic costs.
PureFize® broad-spectrum UV technology offers a new approach. Unlike traditional UV disinfection methods limited to UVC, such as mercury lamps or UVC LEDs, PureFize combines UVC, UVB, and UVA wavelengths (250–350 nm) in a single source, creating a uniquely powerful germicidal effect.
This broader spectrum allows PureFize to:
- Disrupt DNA/RNA, proteins, and lipids, preventing microbial repair.
- Penetrate biofilms, where UVC alone struggles.
- Inactivate a wider range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Our modular product platform, PureFize Velon™, is designed for seamless integration into healthcare solutions. It provides thermal stability, a compact design, and adaptability without requiring cooling.
Typical applications in healthcare & medical devices
- Automated rapid disinfection of medical devices in confined spaces.
- Sterile storage of sensitive medical equipment.
- Biofilm prevention and disinfection in water reservoirs and moist environments where pathogens thrive.
A key advantage is the ability to combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa; a resilient biofilm-forming bacterium often present in catheters, ventilators, and hospital water systems. PureFize’s broad-spectrum UV has been proven effective in targeting and preventing such infections where single-wavelength UVC technologies fall short.
Why PureFize matters
PureFize does not replace established sterilization techniques such as autoclaving or gamma radiation in manufacturing. Instead, it is a complementary solution, designed to improve hygiene during use, storage, and decentralized care. By incorporating PureFize into medical devices or environments, manufacturers and healthcare providers can help reduce HAIs, improve patient safety, and minimize costly readmissions.
