Two concepts inspire the innovators at Germitec.
We start with germ, or a microorganism that can cause disease. We pair germ with tec, from technology, which evokes art, skill, and new ideas. Together they form Germitec, representing the art and skill of fighting disease-causing microorganisms. Disinfection innovation that eradicates germs enables Germitec to support healthcare professionals around the world, helping them to ensure patient safety during ultrasound exams.

The global healthcare sector is responsible for about 5% of the world’s net carbon emissions.
We are committed to making
disinfection processes safer and faster for patients
and healthcare professionals.
When evaluating disinfection methods, healthcare professionals consider patient and staff safety, workflow efficiency, cost, and sustainability. Addressing these considerations is central to our mission and our product innovation. UV-C disinfection requires minimal human interaction, which reduces the potential for error and lowers costs. Our devices use no chemicals — UV-C is a germicidal light energy disinfection method — and thus present zero risk of chemical pollution or skin burns from harsh cleansers.
