Problem
Post-operative and wound infections remain a significant challenge in healthcare, leading to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and higher treatment costs. Traditional methods of infection prevention may not always be effective in eradicating a broad spectrum of pathogens, especially in high-risk patients or those with compromised immune systems. Pin-site infections associated with external fixation are also a persistent concern with limited treatment options.
Solution
Preventogen offers a non-antibiotic, microbicidal liquid polymer that creates a biodegradable, water-resistant barrier to prevent infection in closed surgical incisions, wounds, abrasions, and burns. The FDA-cleared Class I medical device eradicates a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on contact, including multi-drug resistant strains and serious threats identified by the CDC. By forming a protective film over the skin, Preventogen optimizes the healing environment and promotes faster recovery, particularly in high-risk patients. Clinical studies have demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pin-tract infections when Preventogen is used as part of a comprehensive pin-site care protocol.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons, hospitals, and wound care specialists seeking effective, non-antibiotic solutions for infection prevention in surgical incisions, wounds, and pin-site care.
