"Prevention beats treatment. Every time"
Every day, we make sure your rooms are safely and thoroughly disinfected
From Patient to Founder
While undergoing what was supposed to be a simple shoulder operation, Bjørn contracted a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) that left him 6 weeks in isolation. The treatment saved his arm from amputation, but it also left him with one burning question:
How can we use technology to minimize infection risks and prevent infection outbreaks?

Infection control is more critical than ever.
According to WHO, there were 1.27 million deaths caused by antimicrobial resistance
(AMR) in 2019, and this figure is projected to continue to increase and by 2050 it is estimated that it will cause 10 million deaths.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) cost Europe over €7 billion each year, and in
the United States, that figure exceeds $34 billion. In high-income countries, more than a
third of ICU patients contract HAIs, leading to over 37,000 deaths annually in Europe. In Norway, around 35,000 patients are infected each year, many with fatal outcomes. As
multidrug-resistant organisms evolve, so must we. Decon-X is leading the charge in this
critical battle.
The technology is developed and manufactured in Norway, ensuring the highest quality standards while addressing a global need for infection prevention.
