Cleanse in Any Crisis: Introducing PureCleanse™ STAT
On August 19, 2024, we launched our latest innovation in advanced wound care: PureCleanse™ STAT. It’s a medical device that leverages the safe-yet-effective antimicrobial properties of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in an easy-to-use pressurized system that allows for optimal wound lavage. It’s a purpose-built solution for professionals treating wounds in demanding trauma and urgent care environments, as well as clinicians caring for hard-to-heal wounds.
Let’s take a deep dive into what makes PureCleanse™ STAT an advanced wound cleansing system and the many reasons it rises above existing solutions available today.
In the fast-paced world of urgent care and emergency medicine, every second counts. EMTs, emergency rooms, burn units and trauma centre clinicians all face immense pressure to quickly and effectively treat acute wounds, often in challenging environments. They need solutions that are rapid, reliable, and easy to use, allowing them to focus on saving lives rather than struggling with potentially cumbersome wound care protocols.
On the other hand, specialized wound care nurses dealing with chronic, hard-to-heal wounds face a different set of challenges. They grapple with persistent infections, biofilm formation, and the constant need for effective debridement and wound bed preparation to provide optimal conditions for the progression of their patient’s wound healing. These professionals require a versatile solution that can address multiple aspects of wound care while promoting healing and patient comfort.
Enter PureCleanse™ STAT - a revolutionary wound care solution designed to meet the diverse needs of both urgent care professionals and chronic wound care specialists. By combining the proven antimicrobial power of hypochlorous acid with an innovative pressurized delivery system, PureCleanse™ STAT offers a unique answer to the pain points experienced across the spectrum of wound care.
Let's explore how PureCleanse™ STAT is poised to transform wound care practices and address the critical needs of healthcare professionals in various settings.
What is PureCleanse™ STAT?
PureCleanse™ STAT is a fast, safe, and effective way to cleanse and irrigate wounds in environments where an acute wound requires urgent care, or a hard-to-heal wound requires lavage at optimal pressure. The product combines the power of pure, stable, medical-grade hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in a unique pressurized delivery system, allowing physicians to ensure optimal wound bed cleansing through the antimicrobial powers of HOCl, with the additional benefit of physical irrigation and debridement.
Indications for Use
- Traumatic wounds (road rash, acute burn, laceration, etc.) requiring immediate care.
- Non-healing, malodorous, biofilm-laden wounds
- Post-operative wounds during dressing changes
Ideal Use Cases
Trauma & Urgent Care
- Urgent Care Clinics, ER, Trauma Rooms, First Responders/EMT, Military Medical Units, Wound Clinics
Chronic, Hard-to-Heal Wounds
- Wound Clinics, Hospital & Palliative Care, Long-Term Care, Home & Community Care
Post-surgical clinics
- Post-operative dressing changes
What makes PureCleanse™ STAT different?
The Bottle
It’s the PureCleanse™ you know and trust, but in an easy-to-use delivery system allowing pressurized lavage for cleansing and gentle debridement. What makes this possible? Our proprietary bottle technology.
QuickTab™ Technology
The easy to use twist-off tab, means clinicians can simple twist, cleanse, and be done. The soft, highly squeezable body of the bottle allows for optimal gentle-yet-effective hand-held irrigation pressure (up to 15 PSI).
Our Formulation
The PureCleanse™ STAT hypochlorous acid solution is precisely formulated to maintain an optimal pH range. Keeping our solution within this narrow, controlled band of pH ensures the highest concentration of HOCl to be present in the solution during the life of the product—a key indicator of purity and effectiveness. Also, by maintaining a pH that is perfectly balanced with human skin and the pH of a healthy healing wound, PureCleanse™ STAT achieves maximum antimicrobial efficacy while remaining gentle on tissues. This means effective wound cleansing and microbial control without compromising the healing process or causing damage to healthy cells.
Purity and Stability
PureCleanse™ STAT contains the highest quality HOCl solution, ensuring optimal efficacy and safety. Our proprietary manufacturing process produces ultra-pure, ultra-stable HOCl without the use of bleach or buffers. This results in a solution that maintains its potency throughout its shelf life.
Single Use
The single use nature of this product aids in infection prevention in demanding medical environments while also ensuring more rapid access to administering the HOCl solution, eliminating many steps in antiseptic preparations.
How Does PureCleanse™ STAT Compare to Traditional Antiseptics?
This comparison chart clearly illustrates the unique positioning of PureCleanse™ STAT within the landscape of wound irrigation and antimicrobial solutions¹. What stands out immediately is that PureCleanse™ STAT is the only product that meets all the critical requirements needed for effective and safe wound care, making it a comprehensive solution unlike any other on the market.
Antimicrobial Efficacy
PureCleanse™ STAT effectively kills a full range of bacteria, viruses, spores, and fungi, something that traditional options like normal saline and silver nitrate cannot claim. This broad-spectrum efficacy is crucial in preventing infections and promoting faster healing in both acute and chronic wounds.
Safety Profile
While many traditional antiseptics such as chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and povidone iodine are effective, they come with the drawback of cytotoxicity, which can damage healthy tissue and delay wound healing. In contrast, PureCleanse™ STAT is non-cytotoxic and safe for mucosal tissue—no different than saline— offering a gentler alternative that does not compromise on efficacy.
Practical, No-Rinse Convenience
Unlike many other solutions listed, PureCleanse™ STAT requires no rinsing post-application, simplifying the wound care process and saving valuable time in emergency and clinical settings. This feature alone makes it highly practical for use in high-pressure environments like emergency rooms or during field care.
Biofilm Disruption
Biofilms are a significant barrier to effective wound healing, particularly in chronic wounds. PureCleanse™ STAT’s ability to disrupt biofilm is accomplished by two mechanisms of action:
- Safe and effective debridement with up to 15 PSI of pressure
- The antimicrobial efficacy of its pure, stable hypochlorous acid solution
Biofilm disruption is a feature not universally present among traditional antiseptics, and is another aspect that sets PureCleanse™ STAT apart.
Biomimetic Solution
The solution contained within a bottle of PureCleanse™ STAT mimics a naturally occurring molecule in the human body—hypochlorous acid—which is produced by our immune cells to fight infection. This biomimetic property underscores its safety and biocompatibility, offering a solution that works in harmony with the body’s natural processes, unlike many traditional antiseptics that introduce foreign, potentially harmful chemicals.
Ultimately, PureCleanse™ STAT isn’t just another option for wound irrigation; hypochlorous acid is the only solution available to clinicians that combines comprehensive antimicrobial action with a safety profile akin to saline, the simplicity of no-rinse application, and a biomimetic design that ensures compatibility with the body’s natural healing processes.
This makes it an indispensable tool for clinicians who need a solution that is both powerful and safe for all wound care scenarios.
