How does it work?

Zorflex® uses a triple action to combat microbes and odour

Anti-Microbial

Electrostatic forces draw, trap and kill microbes on Zorflex® surface

Conductivity

Restores body’s natural transepithelial potential across the wound bed

Odour Management

Odour molecules adsorbed and odour-causing microbes combated

How to use?

Step 1

Cleanse the wound with sterile water

 

Step 2

Cut the dressing to shape, covering the periwound if masceration is evident. Without stretching the dressing, apply Zorflex® to the wound surface. The dressing should be applied with the direction of stretch running along the limb to allow movement.

 

Step 3

Secure the Zorflex® dressing in place using an appropriate secondary dressing or compression therapy.

 

Step 4

Should the dressing dry or adhere to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing with sterile water to assist removal and avoid disruption of the healing wound. Zorflex® can be left on the wound for up to 7 days, or as clinically indicated. Any threads or fibres detached from the dressing can be easily seen and removed.

Device should only be used as specified. Device should be used under relevant supervision by healthcare professionals.

IN VITRO STUDY: MRSA

Elevated levels of bacterial infection, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), can prolong inflammation and delay chronic wound healing. By reducing levels of bacteria in a non-healing wound, wound healing trajectory could significantly improve.

Quality of MRSA recovered from test dressing following 30 minutes and 24 hours of incubation.

Significantly less MRSA is recovered from Zorflex® in comparison to a competitive anti-microbial dressing; strongly suggesting a bacteriostatic effect.

IN VITRO STUDY: MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE

Elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) can prolong inflammation and delay chronic wound healing. By reducing excess protease activity in a non-healing wound, wound healing trajectory could significantly improve.

Concentration of MMP-2 and MMP-9 remaining on the dressing following 24 hours of incubation.

Following 24 hours of incubation, there were no MMP-2 or MMP-9 found on the Zorflex® dressing, while both strains were recovered from all competitors.
