[1] Young, S. and Gray, S. A retrospective study to evaluate the effect on an activated carbon dressing on chronic wounds. Wounds UK poster 2015.
Through using Zorflex we aim to reduce patient recovery times and associated care costs. This technology is proven effective against MRSA and modulation of proteases3,4, with four-fold benefits including:
*Adsorption is the process where molecules physically adhere to surface of the adsorbent dressing.
How does Zorflex work?
Microorganisms from the wound are attracted to the activated carbon cloth, bound to the surface and destroyed.
The van der Waals electrostatic forces draw small gas and liquid molecules away from the wound, to the dressing, where they become trapped in micropores.
Bacteria cells that are too large to enter the micropores are trapped on the surface of Zorflex. Electrostatic tension builds up in the trapped cells until the tension overcomes the tensile strength of the cell walls, resulting in cell walls rupture, destroying the microorganisms.
Zorflex is indicated as an antimicrobial dressing for over discharging, partial or full thickness wounds such as:
Not for use on dry wounds as this may cause the dressing to adhere to the wound.
