LUOFUCON® PHMB Antibacterial Alginate Dressing is a sterile, single-use dressing consisting of calcium alginate fiber treated with polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB),which is a brand new advanced wound care product. It solves the passivated problem of chemical reaction between alginate and PHMB, which provides safe and good 7-day antimicrobial activities for infected wounds. This dressing not only has alginate property of providing moist wound environment, but also offers PHMB advantage of highly effective safety.
Unlike regular impregnated manufacturing method of the other PHMB wound dressings, LUOFUCON® PHMB Antibacterial Alginate Dressing achieves that a lower content of PHMB has sustained broad-spectrum antibacterial effect by using state-of-the-art technology to bond PHMB onto alginate fibers at the very beginning. Bacteria and moisture are well managed in the dressing. It protects against the development of wound infection by decreasing the bioburden in the dressing and bacterial penetration through the dressing.
Grafting technology firmly anchors PHMB in alginate fibers. Compared with other impregnated PHMB dressings, LUOFUCON® PHMB Antibacterial Alginate Dressing does not release free PHMB into the wound bed, preventing PHMB from causing additional irritation to the fragile new tissues and providing gentle care to the wound.
PHMB has been in use for 60 years in Europe and US. It is highly cationic, and attracts various kinds of bacteria, which are usually negatively charged. It is believed to adhere to and disrupt target cell membranes, causing them to leak potassium ions and other cytosolic components, which results in cell death*.
