Recurrent infections significantly reduce the patient's quality of life, and the biggest reason for this is that fungal spores continue to live on surfaces the patient comes into contact with. Therefore, environmental disinfection plays a critical role in the treatment process.
Developed with academics from Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and validated by TÜV SÜD accredited reports, Sterilisa Pro and Sterilisa Mini provide a true support mechanism in the treatment process and in preventing recurrence of the disease by instantly eliminating bacteria, viruses, and fungi with patented Pulsed Light technology, without the need for chemicals.
