Evidence and Efficacy

Biocompatibility and Safety

To address concerns that antimicrobials might impair or slow wound healing, studies were conducted to compare wound healing with PrevahexCHX® vs. a non-antimicrobial/traditional dressing. The results demonstrated normal wound healing with PrevahexCHX®.

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 probable carcinogen found in other chlorhexidine dressings.
