At least 80% of Chronic
Wounds Contain Biofilm

Biofilm is associated with delayed wound healing and other negative wound healing outcomes. Solutions for the elimination of biofilm have demonstrated significant challenges, due in part to the complexity of the biofilm structure.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are commonly found in biofilms of chronic wounds.

PHMB, Vicinal Diols and EDTA All Have Separate Functions To Create Disruption of the Biofilm Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs)

PHMB aggregates and clumps various EPS polymers

Synergy of the components was determined by Kull equation analysis based on MBEC peg biofilm assay results utilizing mono-species P. aeruginosa and S. aureus (MRSA) biofilms.

The complete BIAKŌS™ ANTIMICROBIAL SKIN AND WOUND CLEANSER reduced the viability of P. aeruginosa mono-species biofilms by more than 5 logs and eliminated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
