DR. WEIGERT is a well known and established manufacturer of specialised detergents and disinfectants sold under the trade name of Neodisher. Based in Hamburg, the company supplies hospitals and clinics throughout Europe. In the UK, the company supplies its products through a subsidiary company, Dr. Weigert UK Ltd, and an expanding network of specialist distributors
One area that is very topical in the UK is the possible spread of prion proteins that contain vCJD on surgical instruments. The company has identified and developed a new detergent technology called Neodisher SeptoClean that has proved to be very successful at removing and also inactivating prion proteins. It has undertaken extensive testing at its head quarters and independent tests have been carried out by the Robert Koch Institute. There are also further independent test results from SMP GmbH.
Neodisher SeptoClean offers optimal cleaning without laborious pretreatment. It is microbiocidal, bactericidal, mycobactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal, as well as offering proven prion protein removal and inactivation.
