PURE HYPOCHLOROUS ACID (HOCl) WOUND CLEANSING DEVICES
As a pure hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solution, BIHOCL™ PureCleanse™ is a broad spectrum antiseptic which is highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms including gram negative and positive bacteria, antibiotic resistant strains, viruses, fungi, yeasts, and prions¹.
The best part? PureCleanse™ pairs this proven efficacy with the safety profile of saline. The time has truly come for cytotoxic alternatives like chlorhexidine and povidone iodine to step aside. Even safe-as-ever saline can’t compete with the HOCl’s combination of safety and efficacy.
I was introduced to BIHOCL Pure Cleanse in the care of my elderly family member who had developed a stage 4 pressure ulcer while bedridden in hospital.
Initially they were using either normal saline which wasn’t able to fight infection, or iodine which was cytotoxic and harsh to the healing tissue. BIHOCL PureCleanse was introduced into her treatment protocol because it is gentle on the healing tissue, is antimicrobial which keeps the wound free from infection, is safe to use frequently, and is very effective at promoting healing. This was extremely important to us because of the severity, location, and risk of infection of the wound being over the coccyx.
BIHOCL PureCleanse was particularly effective for this because, at times, wound cleansing was done multiple times per day, so thankfully there was no risk of over-using PureCleanse because of the non-cytotoxic ingredients. The solution worked very well in aiding in the healing and cleansing of her wound. The pressure ulcer has managed to stay healthy, rebuild granulation tissue and stay free from infection. We as her family are very encouraged by this and believe this is in large part due to the efficacy of this product maintaining an optimal wound healing environment. We are so thankful for this product and the team behind it. We're very thankful for the work they do in creating a safe and effective product which helps so many patients and their families.
Hypochlorous acid use has an important but under recognized place in the armamentarium that clinicians treating patients with wounds can draw upon, and do so with the assurance that well-characterized, potent and effective products are available.
The right way to clean
& debride wounds.
JET LAVAGE HYDRO-DEBRIDEMENT DEVICES
There are many types of debridement—the process of removing debris, slough, or exudate from a wound. But perhaps the safest, most comfortable method is hydro-debridement which harnesses the gentle-yet-effective force of a liquid solution to establish an optimal wound bed environment, ready for healing.
Few methods—if any—have this unique combination that hydro-debridement possesses:
- Patient comfort
- Ease of use
- Effectiveness
- Safety
- Portability
- Liquid solution compatibility
Prevent and manage
wound dehiscence.
SUTURE RETENTION DEVICES
Surgical wound dehiscence (SWD) is the most common postoperative problem encountered in foot and ankle surgery and affects up to 39% of lower extremity amputations.² Worse still, non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in diabetic patients are complicated by wound dehiscence in up to 80% of cases.³
The HEMIGARD® Adhesive Suture Retention Device (ASRD) reduces lower extremity excisional wound dehiscence by more than 80% while reducing fragile skin tearing and improving wound edge perfusion.⁴⁻⁵
HEMIGARD© Adhesive Suture Retention Device (ASRD)
HEMIGARD® ASRD reduces wound dehiscence by more than 80%. The device has zones of differing stiffness to offload stress from standard nylon sutures, supporting a wound closure for up to two weeks after surgery.
HEMIGARD® Interlock
The HEMIGARD® Interlock device closes moderate tension surgical wounds (up to 5 lbs. of force) using ZONAL® technology. This technology reduces stress without sutures and supports wound closure for up to three weeks after surgery.
Improving patient wound closure outcomoes while making closure easier for surgeons.
Here's how HEMIGARD© does it.
Watch the HEMIGARD© ASRD and HEMIGARD© Interlock in a demonstration their function and benefits. This visual makes it clear how simple and easy to use these products really are.
