How Does Vashe Wound Cleaning Solution Work?
- Many wound cleansers historically have had characteristics that limit their desirability for use in wound care.
- Cytotoxicity to the cells necessary for optimal healing must be minimized.
- Stability of compounds affect the time a cleanser can be effective on a wound.
- Extremes of pH can make the cleanser range from uncomfortable to painful.
- Steadmed Vashe Wound Cleansing Solution has addressed each of these drawbacks and serves as an ideal wound cleanser.
- It is intended for cleaning, irrigating, moistening, debriding and removal of foreign material including microorganisms from acute and chronic dermal lesions, such as stage I-IV pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, abrasions and minor irritations of the skin in addition to moistening and lubricating absorbent wound dressings.
- Safe, non-cytotoxic, and contains the highest concentration of pure hypochlorous acid.
