Microcyn® Technology

Great Efficacy. Maximum Tolerance.

Microcyn Wound Care contains the preservatives sodium hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid which ensure the product’s sterility. These compounds are naturally produced as defensive agents by mammalian neutrophils/monocytes as part of the immune system.

For the treatment of acute and chronic wounds as well as first- and second-degree burns

Advantages in comparison to chemical substances

Great Efficacy

The primary mode of action of Microcyn Wound Care involves the mechanical removal of cellular debris, senescent cells, necrotic tissue, and foreign material from the skin and wound surface using a moistened dressing (e.g.gauze) along with irrigation. Removal of these materials through these actions is known to decrease infection rates and improve wound healing. The secondary mode of action is a function of the antimicrobial properties of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and its salt, hypochlorite (OCl) (1). These ancillary medicinal substances which are present in Microdacyn60 in very low, non toxic amounts, assist in the removal of microorganisms.

  • Can remain in the wound and does not need to be rinsed out
  • Can also be used in exposed joints, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons
  • Does not develop bacterial resistance

Maximum Tolerance

The essential component of Microdacyn60® Wound Care is hypochlorous acid (HOCl). It is an important constituent of our innate immune system and is formed and released by the macrophages during phagocytosis. This represents a significant advantage over other wound-irrigation and antiseptic solutions as highly organized cell structures such as human tissue can tolerate the action of Microcyn Wound Care Wound Care while single-celled microorganisms cannot.

  • Microcyn Wound Care has no known side effects on human cells
  • Microcyn Wound Care is not cytotoxic

Low Irritation Threshold

Microcyn Wound Care is tolerated extremely well and has achieved an irrigation threshold of 1.022 in the HET-CAM assay.
