PHMB-infused antimicrobial dressings provide sterile, broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, fungi, and drug-resistant strains like MRSA and VRE, making them an effective choice for infection prevention in wound care. Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) disrupts bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting microbial growth and biofilm development, which helps minimize infection risk and support healing in clinical and home settings.

Key Features & Benefits

PHMB antimicrobial action: Kills or inhibits a wide range of bacteria (gram-negative/positive), fungi, and resistant species to reduce colonization and prevent microorganism penetration.
Infection control: Decreases risk of wound contamination, cross-infection, and limits spread between patient, clinician, and environment.
Broad-spectrum coverage: Effective against difficult-to-treat biofilms, MRSA, VRE, and common wound pathogens.
Low cytotoxicity: PHMB is non-cytotoxic and does not inhibit wound healing, supporting safe use for repeated applications.
Sterile and hypoallergenic: Suitable for sensitive skin, typically packaged 2 per peel pack for convenience.
Clinical versatility: Used in wounds at risk of infection (pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, surgical sites, burns, diabetic foot ulcers), and can be applied under compression.
Moist healing environment: Many PHMB dressings also absorb exudate and support granulation, promoting faster wound closure.
No known antimicrobial resistance: PHMB's multi-modal action means acquired resistance is rare.
