Why Vyv

Vyv Enhanced Antimicrobial™

Combines a unique blend of precisely tuned colors to deliver optimal antimicrobial dosage – all in a single LED light diode that is highly efficient and pleasing to the eye.

Vyv Antimicrobial+Light™

Combines the same antimicrobial protection with the addition of high-quality white light for interior lighting.

We’re proud of our many patented innovations, and we continue to invent, with a constant flow of new patents pending.

Check out Vyv Invent for the full complement of technical, scientific, engineering and marketing expertise we offer along with our technology.

The single diode is well suited for antimicrobial applications in large areas like overhead lighting in surgical suites, or in small spaces like behind an elevator button or inside a consumer product.

Vyv’s single diode offers all the benefits of LED lighting — sustainable energy-efficient operation; extended lifetime to reduce waste; and precise color spectrum tuning—while maintaining its intensive antimicrobial properties.​*

Built for easy integration, Vyv Lighting Control Systems offer –​

• Full integration with standard lighting controls for easy installation that’s simple and most cost-effective
• Highly adaptable design for retrofitting existing lighting configurations and applications​

Vyv’s antimicrobial light wavelengths initiate a photo-reaction with endogenous non-iron porphyrin molecules found only in microorganisms. The porphyrin molecules are photo activated. Vyv’s light frequencies excite the porphyrins, causing a break-off of excess Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). This causes irreparable damage within the cell, ultimately destroying the cellular membrane from the inside out.

Vyv attacks the cell from multiple vectors preventing the cell from building up any new defenses against this form of attack. This is unlike approaches used with antibiotics that can cause germs to mutate and develop resistance.

Use Vyv anywhere and get a new kind of continuous antimicrobial cleaning.

• the general overuse of antibiotics
• a lack of innovation and drug discovery to counter act superbugs
• the realization that many bacteria have adapted to existing antibiotic remedies
• the diminished efficacy of existing methods of disinfection

These pathogens are spread through both human transmission and environmental contamination. They are a pervasive threat in health facilities, homes, public spaces and work environments. Increased antibiotic resistance leaves people highly vulnerable to illness, with limited defenses. Antibiotics have long been relied upon to combat infections. During the past two decades this once powerful medical tool has become significantly less effective. Why?

Antibiotic medicines target specific proteins in germs, which have adapted over time increasing resistant to these drugs. Making matters worse, drug discovery has not kept pace. Between 2008 – 2012 only two new antibiotics received U.S. FDA approval, compared to sixteen between 1983 – 1987. The situation is so dire that the World Health Organization considers the threat of antimicrobial resistance comparable to the threat of climate change.

The pandemic has awakened the world to the dangers we face. Our leading scientists have been telling us about this for years.

When a new germ is introduced without Vyv, the rising curve shows an increase in microbial buildup over time. With Vyv, microbes become inactivated and die over time. This difference is that an inhospitable environment is created through our new kind of continuous prevention.
