First Microdacyn (SOS) to the Pacific Islands

September sees the first Microdacyn Super-Oxidised Solution (SOS) being supplied to the Pacific Islands.

The Cook Islands, like New Zealand experience a high rate of skin sores and skin infections. The infections predominantly occur in children and are caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.

Microdacyn is a significant advance in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds,  working to reduce the time taken wound healing:

• Microdacyn is used to irrigate and debride the wond area creating an optimal moist healing environment

• Physical kill of microbes including bacteria, drug resistant bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores.

The therapeutic benefits of Microdacyn use include reduction of inflammation and improved wound healing.

Microdacyn is non-antibiotic and non-cytotoxic to be well tolerated and minimises the risk of developing drug resistance.
