3M 93000 BlastX Antimicrobial Wound Gel, 1 ounce tube (30ml), One tube

BlastX Antimicrobial Wound Gel is a breakthrough innovation powered by Next Sciences patented, non-toxic biofilm-disruption Xbio Technology. It deconstructs the bacterial biofilm EPS matrix, destroys bacteria within the gel, and defends from recolonization while maintaining a moist wound environment.

As opposed to free-floating bacteria, biofilms are powerful communities that function as a single entity with robust defense mechanisms. By targeting the biofilm structure and breaking it apart, Next Sciences Xbio Technology deconstructs the biofilm matrix without harming healthy human tissue. With the biofilm matrix dissolved, bacteria are exposed and more vulnerable to attack. The Xbio Technology creates a high-osmolarity condition. This environment coupled with a surfactant induces cell lysis for bacteria enveloped within the gel. Cell lysis is nondiscriminatory, and therefore Xbio Technology destroys gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, persister cells, and spores. 

 Disrupting and destroying the biofilm matrix can reduce the rate of recurrence more than 100x, effectively defending against recolonization. Other antimicrobial agents may claim to destroy biofilms; however, their efficacy could be undermined by bacterial resistance. In contrast, the biofilm matrix cannot re-form in the presence of the BlastX Antimicrobial Wound Gel. There is no known evidence of bacterial resistance to the Xbio Technology.

Non-toxic BlastX Antimicrobial Wound Gel is non-toxic and compatible with a broad range of advanced healing modalities, and sets the stage for better preparation and ongoing care of the wound bed.
