BerbereX® is a safe and non-irritating antimicrobial wound cleanser that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. Its unique and patented formulation resolves pathogenic flora and helps to decolonize the wound, yet unlike many antimicrobial formulas does not impair healing.

BerbereX® helps to overcome obstacles to healing that are caused by alkaline pH in chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers, but has no known side effects.

BerbereX® is simple to use, requires no significant changes in current wound care protocols, and promotes healing of acute and chronic wounds!

Antimicrobial

In a clinical antimicrobial performance assay BerbereX® Wound Cleanser showed efficacy against highly virulent strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that were collected from hospital patients. Upon contact it inhibited all strains of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Group B Streptococcus (B-Strep) and E. Coli.

pH Balancing

Clinical science has shown that the healing of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers requires a slightly acidic pH. BerbereX® Wound Cleanser has a pH 4.7, which helps to overcome the effects of alkaline pH that are normally found in such wounds.

Promotes Healing

Allantoin promotes healthy skin by improving epithelialization and healthy new tissue growth. Use of BerbereX® Wound Cleanser facilitates removal of debris, excess exudate and necrotic tissue fragments. It reduces infection, promotes a moist wound environment, and helps to maintain wound pH in a desirable range. All of these are essential components for a successful recovery from wounds.

CLINICAL USE:

BerbereX® Wound Cleanser is intended for use in clinical environments and home care to facilitate cleansing of debris, exudate, and organic material including micro-organisms from wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and burns.

OTC INDICATIONS:

BerbereX® Wound Cleanser helps protect skin and supports healing of minor cuts, scrapes, bums and wounds, including pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, cracked skin and lips. BerbereX® Wound Cleanser also serves as a topical antiseptic to help decrease the incidence and extent of skin infections.
