About Us

Germitec was created in 2005 by the entrepreneur, Clément Deshays. In nearly 20 years of existence, Germitec has developed its solutions based on UV-C technology for High-Level Disinfection (HLD) of ultrasound probes. Based on this R&D work, Germitec helps healthcare professionals to optimise their procedures by making the HLD of medical devices fast, while guaranteeing quality of care as well as traceability meeting safety and regulatory standards.

Since Germitec’s creation, its products have been approved by Public Health England, NHS Scotland, Health Canada, as well as laboratories and scientific centers in France, Germany, Australia, and the United States.

In 2020, Germitec won the prestigious Prix Galien France for the best medical device.
