Hypochlorous acid wound care for irrigation and management of acute/chronic wounds and skin infections.
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) wound care solution. Mechanism: electrolyzed water producing HOCl at ~0.02% concentration — disrupts microbial cell membranes and inactivates bacterial/viral/fungal enzymes via oxidative mechanism. Modulates wound inflammation; non-cytotoxic to host cells at therapeutic concentrations (unlike bleach). Broad-spectrum antimicrobial for wound irrigation and management.
