Evidence and Efficacy

Biocompatability and Safety

To address concerns that antimicrobials can impair or slow down wound healing, studies were conducted to compare normal wound care and healing vs. the use of non-antimicrobial/traditional dressing. Our results showed normal wound healing observed.

The patented process for manufacturing PrevahexCHX is cleaner, safer and ensures that all dressings are free of p-chloroaniline (PCA), an acutely toxic skin sensitizer and possible carcinogen found in other chlorhexidine dressings.
