Link: PuriCore Receives US Patent on Wound Therapy Method – Forbes.com.
PuriCore’s patented wound therapy technology is being commercialized as the Vashe(TM) Wound Therapy System, a novel, noninvasive, easy-to-use wound management process that has been shown to be complementary to existing treatment methods. The Vashe System is an FDA-cleared medical device used for moistening, irrigating, cleaning, and debriding acute and chronic wounds including stage I through IV pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, abrasions, and minor irritations of the skin. The Vashe Solution mimics the human body’s own infection fighter, hypochlorous acid. Recent and ongoing clinical case studies show that the Vashe Solution eliminates pathogens that produce harmful toxins and odor and cause significant pain, without any damage to tissue. Research to date demonstrates that the Vashe Solution provides a safe and effective alternative to cytotoxic antimicrobial and antiseptic products currently used to treat infected wounds and surgical sites and is an important element in the overall clinical process of effective wound management.
