CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTORNATURAL PHYSICAL ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION:
Zorflex Technology
Micro-organisms from the wound are attracted to the activated carbon cloth, bound to the surface and destroyed
Activated carbon has naturally occurring van der Waals electrostatic forces that draw small gas and liquid molecules away from the wound, to the dressing, where they become trapped in micropores
Bacteria cells that are too big to enter the micropores, become trapped on the surface of Zorflex, away from the wound bed, and are deprived of nutrients which are adsorbed into the micropores
Electrostatic tension builds up in the trapped cells until the tension overcomes the tensile strength of the cell walls, at which time the cell walls rupture, destroying the micro-organisms
Zorflex®
UNIQUE PROPERTIES
Zorflex® cloth is knitted, 100% pure activated carbon cloth with interconnected fibres that enhance antimicrobial properties over other activated carbon dressings.
- Direct dressing that maintains contact with the wound bed
- Microporous surface
- Non-cytotoxic, modulates proteases
- Easy to use
- Safe and risk free – no reported adverse reaction
PROTEASE MODULATION
Regulates enzymes in the wound which can promote healing
PROVEN AGAINST MRSA
Significantly less MRSA is recovered from Zorflex®, compared to alternatives
MOISTURE HANDLING
Exudate transfers into the secondary dressing, which can be replaced as necessary
CONDUCTIVE
Restores the body’s natural transepithelial potential across the wound bed
