"Among other things, infusion also contain vitamins that must be protected from UV light so that they do not lose their positive properties on human organism.

With HIP-Body, patients can view a sustainable, aesthetic and 100% light-proof infusion bottle protector during treatment, which accompanies them as they recover and professionally highlights own corporate identity."

I have been working as a specialist in biological dentistry and ceramic implants for several years. In my surgery we provide our patients with healing infusions during operations. The HIP-Body convinces me not only by it´s reusability but also by it´s pleasant appearance. After all, an infusion bottle that matches the practice interior design and shows the own logo on it looks much more appealing than one wrapped in aluminium foil. I am happy to participate in this project. I can no longer imagine my daily practice without this innovative UV protector.

About us
How it all started:
Basically, „this story“ began with my husband’s question:
„Do you want to work in my surgery? You would only have to do an apprenticeship.“
My husband, Steffen Zwingel, is a dentist by profession. He has his own surgery and is a trained and certified specialist in biological dentistry and ceramic implants according to Dr. Ulrich Volz and Dr. Dominik Nischwitz.
So in 2014, as an industry outsider (trained bank clerk), I started training from scratch to become a dental assistant, which I successfully completed in February 2017. From then on my husband took me on training courses. At the SWISS BIOHEALTH Education Centre in Kreutzlingen (CH). I learned a lot about the treatment methods of biological dentistry. Here I also learned that patients are given infusions before, during and after their treatment.
These infusions also contain vitamins, among other things, which must be protected from UV light so that they do not lose their positive properties on the human organism. This protection (attention!!!) was once achieved by aluminium foil wrapped around the infusion bottle.
Aluminium foil may be an effective protection against UV radiation, I thought, but it doesn’t lock good at all and, most importantly, it is not reusable, it pollutes the environment. In my opinion, this is a no-go in biological dentistry, which stands for metal-free dentistry!
"I'll find a better solution for that!"
Then I also found it …
... and this is how Health Infusion Protector, or shortened HIP-Body, came into being.
Our daughter, a trained seamstress and fashion designer, developed the right cuts with us and continues to create the perfect-fitting HIP-Bodys in highest quality.
Over a months-long test phase in my husband’s surgery, we continued to develop HIP-Body in the areas of handling, sterilisability and cleaning.
The UV-VIS transmission measurements via The Federal office for Materials Research and Testing in Berlin showed zero light transmission over the entire wavelength range. In the meantime, I have registered the design with the German Patent and Trademark Office and secured it.
What was then added as the „icing on the coke“: I finally managed to find a print shop that could print the material in colour. This special print method makes it possible to sterilise HIP-Body at the high temperatures required for this in the autoclave (sterilizer).
This makes it possible for hospitals, private clinics, naturopathic practices, cosmetic surgery facilities, biological dentists, infusion therapy centres and all those who work with infusions to have their HIPs freely designed. With your own logo, appealing texts, slogans, drawings, pictures or comics.
With HIP-Body patients can view a sustainable, aesthetic and 100% light-proof infusion bottle protect during treatment which accompanies them as they recover and professionally brings own corporate identity to the fore.
