Wound Lavage
is used to remove debris, including microorganisms, from wounds using
pulsed (jet) lavage. Moreover, independent laboratory testing shows that
Bactisure Wound Lavage can effectively remove common wound pathogens
including the bacteria found in biofilms

How it Works:
• Breaks up crosslinks within biofilm EPS

• Solubilizes biofilms for easy removal via pulsed lavage

• Subjects exposed bacteria to lavage removal or inactivation via
traditional antibiotics and the body's normal defense mechanisms
