Hygie Canada is a forward-looking company wich markets products aiming to limit the spread of bacteria and hence reduce the risks of infection. As a matter of fact, “Hygie” obtained its name from the goddess of health, hygiene and of physical well-being, Hygiena, daughter of Asclepius, and descendent of Apollo. Our main product, the “care bag”, was created in Europe in 1999 and since then, it travels the world. Hygie offers a range of innovative products used by both health facilities and at-home care givers. These user-friendly products help professionals and care givers to meet the needs of their patients while offering a simple alternative to carry their daily activities.

BRIEF HISTORY
Hygiena was the Greek goddess of health. Panacea, another daughter of Asclepius, symbolises curative medicine. Asclepius and his daughters belong to the lineage of Apollo, god of rational intelligence, who already prefigured science as it would be conceived later in the Occident. The Greeks honoured her as a goddess who had the responsibility to watch over the health of living creatures. Man and all living creatures were the focus of her caregiving. She is the one who covertly suggested to one and to others the right choices of foods necessary for the existence, as well as the appropriate remedies to cure their ailments. She somewhat personified life instinct and, by sustaining mortal forces, and even by preventing sickness, she saved her father from the need to continually intervene in order to alleviate or heal pain.

Our mission
Our mission is first and foremost to develop, manufacture and market of a full range of products intended to limit the spread of bacteria. It is also to provide answer to acute needs which are currently unmet, in an effective manner which meets the interests of health systems and ultimately contribute to the well-being of millions of people. Finally, it is to maximize the commercial success of our products thanks to partnerships which assure the sustained growth of the company.

Our business model
We no longer need to demonstrate our expertise in development and commercialisation of products. Working from an existing pool of goods, we want to perfect new products by applying and added value to them so they may be substantially improved, in order to respond more precisely to the acute needs of the health services network, health professionals and society.
