A New Approach to Biofilm Removal
- Bacteria can produce Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) to shield themselves from both mechanical and chemical attack. Bactisure Wound Lavage was specifically designed to remove these structurally resistant forms of bacteria. Our solution physically deconstructs the protective EPS matrix, making bacteria more susceptible to traditional antibiotics and the body’s normal defense mechanisms.
Key Application Steps
- Apply just prior to wound closure using Zimmer Biomet Pulsavac Plus pulsed lavage system.
- Immediately after irrigating the wound bed, the wound bed MUST BE rinsed away with an equal amount of normal saline.
Biofilm’s Role in Chronic Wound Infections
- Over 90% of all bacteria exist in biofilms.5,6
- Biofilms are formed in the body when bacteria coalesce on surface structures and produce an Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS). 5,6
- The EPS then shields bacteria from both mechanical and chemical attack. 5,6
- EPS shielded bacteria in a biofilm can be 1000x more resistant to antibiotics than planktonic (free-floating) bacteria. 5,6
- The periodic release of planktonic bacteria from biofilms have been linked to chronic relapsing infections.7
