Description

Microdacyn Wound Care is a versatile solution designed to enhance the healing process of both acute and chronic wounds, including burns. Available in both liquid and hydrogel forms, it serves multiple functions such as cleaning, irrigating, debriding, and maintaining optimal moisture levels in wounds. This comprehensive approach helps to reduce infection risks and promote faster healing.

Antimicrobial Efficacy

One of the standout features of Microdacyn Wound Care is its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. It effectively targets bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores, and biofilms without encouraging bacterial resistance. Remarkably, it eliminates 99.99% of free-floating microbes within just 30 seconds, providing rapid protection against potential infections.

Composition and Safety

The solution is composed of super-oxidized water, sodium chloride, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The hydrogel variant includes additional gelling agents and buffers. With a pH value of 7.0, Microdacyn is pH neutral, non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-staining, making it safe for use on sensitive areas such as mucosa, exposed joints, tendons, bones, and ligaments.

Compatibility and Application

Microdacyn Wound Care is compatible with all wound dressings, including silver dressings, and can be used alongside negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and ultrasonic debridement. It is ready to use and can be applied directly to wounds, used to moisten bandages, or clean the peri-wound area. The hydrogel form provides additional cooling and soothing effects, particularly beneficial for burn wounds.

Clinical Benefits

Clinically, Microdacyn Wound Care has been shown to reduce wound healing time, decrease wound odor and inflammation, and increase local oxygen pressure. It is particularly effective in managing diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical site infections. The solution also helps reduce bacterial burden and reinfection rates, potentially shortening the duration of antibiotic therapy.

Practical Considerations

The product boasts a 24-month shelf life when unopened and should be used within 60 days after opening. It can be warmed to 40°C before use if needed. Available in various bottle sizes, including a 60g spray bottle for the hydrogel variant, Microdacyn Wound Care is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and is widely used in hospital settings.

Use Cases

Suitable for a wide range of wounds, including cuts, abrasions, diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and thermal and radiation burns, Microdacyn Wound Care aids in manual cleaning, desloughing, and wound preparation. Its hypotonic nature helps in desloughing without damaging healthy skin, making it suitable for individuals of all ages.
