From a performance perspective, microSURE is a high-level disinfectant. However, by chemical definition, based on its active ingredients, it would be considered a low-level disinfectant. This is due to the proprietary technology used in the solution, which effectively targets pathogens, while remaining free of bleach, alcohol, dyes, and added fragrances.
- This means that no other solution or ointment is recommended by the doctor to be applied directly to the wound if the goal is to keep the wound covered.
- From a practical standpoint, no solution can penetrate through the gauze sufficiently to reach the wound bed.
- However, unlike other solutions, applying microSURE™ to the gauze forms a protective layer on the surface, helping to prevent microorganisms from penetrating the gauze and reaching the wound.”
Yes, microSURE™ Wound Care has been tested and demonstrated efficacy against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including zoonotic and spore-forming bacteria.
microSURE™ forms a long-lasting, microscopic spiked barrier (4-6 nanometers) on the applied surface, which physically punctures microorganisms, while preventing microbial growth.
Yes, MicroSURE has been proven to be effective against both Gram-positive (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species) and Gram-negative (e.g., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella) bacteria, with a > 7 log reduction.
Yes, MicroSURE is applicable to all four stages of wound healing:
1. Hemostasis: MicroSURE can be used after bleeding stops to prevent infection.
2. Inflammatory: MicroSURE can be used to disinfect and protect the wound, creating a barrier to harmful microorganisms.
3. Proliferative: MicroSURE can be used to maintain a moist environment and protect the new tissue, supporting healing.
4. Maturation: MicroSURE can be used to protect the wound and prevent external contaminants from entering while the tissue continues to mature.
MicroSURE can be used after bleeding stops to prevent infection.
Yes, MicroSURE is generally applicable for all ages, including children and adults. However, for infants or individuals with sensitive skin, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before use to ensure it’s appropriate for their specific needs.
