The No.1 dispenser in German healthcare.
The ingo-man® brand offers everything you need for excellent hand hygiene. From sanitizer dispensers to waste bins and point-of-care mounting solutions.
The ingo-man® dispenser series is compatible with the Euro bottle standard. This standard lets you access a wide range of filling products from different manufacturers.
For over 55 years, the ingo-man brand has been supporting doctors, nursing staff and other healthcare workers by improving the quality and access of hand hygiene solutions.
The majority of the dispenser housings in the ingo-man® series are made of high-quality aluminum and are designed to meet the highest hygiene standards.
Packed with smart details and practical features, the ingo-man® series has been created to improve the quality of life for hospital staff and visitors.
The ingo-man® brand offers dispenser systems with integrated touchless sensors. This technology reduces smear infections and increases ease of use.
In the 1960s, alcohol-based hand sanitizers flooded onto the market, bringing a new way to disinfect hands. But there was a problem. The dispensers of the time could hold or dispense the new product well. OPHARDT developed the solution with ingo-man® and revolutionized hand hygiene.
In addition to its sophisticated pump technology, the ingo-man® has other groundbreaking features. The stainless steel lever has a small contact surface that reduces the chance of smear infections. The ingo-man® was also built with autoclaving-high-heat cleaning and reprocessing-in mind.
In 2000, OPHARDT introduced the ingo-man® classic to the market. With more functions and options for customization, the Euro dispenser quickly became a hit and is still in use, supporting healthcare personnel in their daily hand hygiene practices.
The ingo-man® plus launched, with a patented removable front panel. All in all, the new design ushers in a new era of the Euro dispenser, which set the stage for a host of new developments for users.
The ingo-man® plus gained a touchless dispenser shortly after the launch of the line. The touchless version not only ensures greater operating convenience, but also drastically reduces the risk of smear infections.
In the often hectic daily routine of front-line healthcare workers, keeping hand sanitization front-of-mind can be a challenge . With the introduction of the hi-vis colour dispensers, the ingo-man® helped address this issue in order to improve hand hygiene behaviour.
Once again, OPHARDT raised the bar. With the ingo-man® smart, hand hygiene became digital for the first time. The e-pro dispenser was even able to use the force of the lever being pressed down to generate the energy needed to transmit data to the cloud!
With the ingo-man SmartNose, OPHARDT introduced a connected front panel that not only records usage data, but also provides the user with direct feedback via an LED when the right amount of sanitizer or soap has been dispensed.
In addition to its established HDPE Euro bottles, OPHARDT Hygiene has recently started offering Euro bottles made from PET, which are more easily recyclable. The PET Euro bottles are available in 500ml and 1,000ml sizes.
