TM
Rabbit Healing Study
Histology Demonstrates Complete Elution and Healing at 21 Days on Surgical Mesh
Slides show:
-
Complete elution of AgO surface by 21 days on Silver Oxide coated ePTFE
-
Complete healing with no difference from healing control at 21 days.
Benefits
Tunable, high-performance, high-activity AgO eluting surface.
Unique, highly-active AgO delivers Greater than 6-7 log reduction, depending upon application.
Prevents Biofilm formation.
Performs in high-flow, not just static, environments.
Anti-microbial duration selectable from 7 days to more than 9 months.
Combination of AgO/Ag2O/Ag allows "Tunable" performance over time.

MicroBLOX MOF Mixin - Antimicrobial for Polymers
MicroBLOX MOF Mixin is a biocompatible Metal Organic Framework that delivers indefinite anti-microbial performance for medical devices in contact with blood in the body.
It delivers that antimicrobial performance with:
-
No Added Thickness
-
No Drugs
-
No Elution
-
No Biodegrading
-
No Particulates
-
No Flaking
-
No Dissolving
-
No Added Manufacturing Steps or Process Cost
MicroBLOX MOF Delivers Long-term therapeutic action
-
Remains active indefinitely
-
Exceeds performance of current commercial technologies
MicroBLOX MOF Mixin excels where other antimicrobials are overwhelmed - high flow environments. By constantly catalyzing a minute boundary layer of Nitric Oxide on the device, MicroBLOX prevents microbial attachment and biofilm formation.
