Bringing Copper to Life
As leaders in the science of incorporating copper-based additives into polymeric materials, from time to time our Science Team will post content relative to the market shift away from problematic legacy antimicrobials to more sustainable, efficacious and cost-advantaged copper additives.Copper Wound Dressings Made from Cupron Fibers Yield Mean Reduction of Wound Area 2.4X that of Silver Wound Dressings
Dr. Oxana Gorel and her colleagues in wound management at the Loewenstein Rehabilitation Center in Ra’anana, Israel embarked on a study to investigate the efficacy of copper dressings in non-infected wounds that were unresponsive to conventional silver-based treatments. Despite the widespread use of silver dressings as the standard of care in their facility, they encountered numerous cases where wounds showed little to no improvement or progressed at a sluggish pace.
