The preservatives in Microdacyn60® Wound Care, (hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite), guarantee product sterility due to their outstanding anti-microbial characteristics.

Microdacyn60® Wound Care eliminates unpleasant wound odors in just a few seconds.

The Microdacyn60® Wound Care effect has also been proven under clinical conditions: in a controlled prospective-study*, 90% of patients had a distinct increase in granulation and improvement in the surrounding skin.

In vitro study also available under: Journal of Hospital Infection (2005), 1–9: Dr. Landa-Solis

More than five million patients have been treated worldwide with Microdacyn60® Wound Care. In Europe, the USA, Mexico, China, India, and Malaysia, more than 40 clinical studies have been conducted—all this without any indication of irritation, sensitization, toxicity or eye irritation.

Wound Treatment Solution

There are many cleansers with the ability to kill microorganisms. Unfortunately, many of these cleansers are antiseptics with a high degree of toxicity and will therefore destroy the surrounding skin and peri-wound tissue.

While fighting infections these antiseptics will in fact inhibit wound healing!

Therefore it has never been our isolated goal to fight infections only. Microdacyn60 is not just another anti-microbial cleanser but a ‘Wound Treatment Solution’.

Our focus is to heal wounds as quickly as possible. In order to achieve, effectivity and safety (non-toxicity) must be united. Microdacyn60 may therefore not be labelled the strongest “antimicrobial” product, but the use of natural body ingredients (in fact the same ingredients that our body immune system uses) will speed up the healing process by stimulating the body to perform its own healing process.

Physical mode of action

What also makes Microdacyn60 different is a physical mode of action instead of a chemical mode of action. Again, many antiseptics contain chemical ingredients and kill by chemical action (which in fact also is a source of bacterial resistance).

While Microdacyn60’s active ingredient (Hypochlorous Acid) increases microorganisms’ cell wall permeability by denaturing proteins and fatty acids, it does not kill microorganisms!

What destroys microorganisms is induced by a purely natural and physical process called Osmosis. Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from a low concentration of salt (HYPOTONIC) to a high concentration of salt (HYPERTONIC).

The concentration of salt (NaCl) in bacteria (0,9%) is 33x higher than the concentration of salt in Microdacyn (0,027%). When a single cell organism gets in contact with hypotonic Microdacyn60, the water molecules will move into the microorganism causing it to swell. The combination of excessive swelling and the increased cell wall permeability will cause cell lysis and -instantly- kill the microorganism.

The lower the Osmolality, the stronger the Osmotic pressure and the stronger the physical effect on microorganisms. With an Osmolarity of only 13  mOsmol/kg, Microdacyn60 is the most powerful hypotonic HOCl solution on the market today.

Rinse the wound with Microdacyn60® Wound Care and let it take effect briefly; the process can be repeated up to three times daily or whenever the bandage is changed. Alternatively, the wound can also be cleaned with compresses soaked in Microdacyn60® Wound Care. Adhering bandages can be loosened easily and without trauma using Microdacyn60® Wound Care. To support mechanical wound cleansing, the working time of Microdacyn60® Wound Care can be extended to 15 minutes.
