Unique composition of two active substances
Polyhexanide (PHMB)
Has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and is effective against biofilms. PHMB penetrates the cell membranes of bacteria, where it removes biofilms and provides a robust defense against harmful microbes. 1
Poloxamer
It works as a surfactant that reduces the tension between two materials. Thanks to this, the active substance PHMB can reach the site of action more effectively.
PREVENTIA® Surgical Irrigation - discover solutions against formation of bioflims
Biofilms need to be prevented and pose a heightened risk of poor surgical outcomes. They need to be managed and removed, even better prevented for effective and timely wound healing.
