Procellera

Procellera Antimicrobial Wound Dressings are powered by V.Dox™ Technology. Employing a patented matrix of moisture-activated microcell batteries, they generate electricity designed to mimic the skin’s physiologic electrical energy. V.Dox Technology has been shown to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria (including several multi-drug resistant and biofilm-forming strains), while supporting the body’s natural healing process.

BIOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY

Vomaris’s core technology powers the only non-antibiotic antimicrobial technology that is inspired by the body’s natural electrical healing process. It employs embedded microcell batteries that generate an electric field designed to mimic the body’s physiologic electric fields, which are essential for cell migration and wound healing. It is a new generation solution for wound and incisional care with demonstrated antimicrobial impact against a broad spectrum of microbes including antibiotic-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria.

MICROCELL BATTERIES

Moisture-activated microcell batteries comprised of elemental silver and elemental zinc are embedded in a substrate.

Upon moisture activation, chemical reactions between the silver and zinc occur, involving the transfer of electrons from the zinc to the silver in a process known as oxidation-reduction or REDOX reaction, which wirelessly generates an electric field.

PREVENTION OF BACTERIAL GROWTH

In vitro study of dressings embedded in agar demonstrates effectiveness against A. baumannii bacteria absence of bacterial growth above Vomaris’s antimicrobial dressing (see V.Dox Technology picture), compared to diffuse bacterial growth above the silver and placebo control dressings at 24 hours.2

MICROCELL BATTERIES CONDUCTIVE MEDIUM ELECTRICITY
V.Dox™ Technology employs a matrix of embedded microcell batteries comprised of elemental silver and elemental zinc. When in direct contact with a conductive medium, chemical reactions occur involving the transfer of electrons from the zinc to the silver in a process known as oxidation-reduction or REDOX reaction. This generates an electric field on the dressing surface. A conductive medium is any solution that permits the flow of electrons. Examples of highly conductive media are saline solution, hydrogels, and certain serums. Due to the high concentration of naturally occurring salt ions in the human body, bodily fluids such as sweat and wound exudate are also conductive media capable of activating V.Dox Technology’s microcell batteries. V.Dox Technology generates electricity designed to mimic the skin’s physiologic electrical energy and may reduce the risk of infection while supporting the body’s natural healing process.
