Consequence For the past 6 decades, we have relied on the availability and efficacy of antibiotics for prevention and control of infections in our health-care systems.

(Silver, S. aureus Chlorhexidine) K. oxytoca? Therapeutic Preventive Benefit (Antimicrobial) – Risk (Cytotoxicity)
Benefit: Risk Killing of Delayed wound micoorganisms healing: cytotoxicity Recommended Antiseptics for wound antisepsis in Central Europe
• German Consensus Recommendation • Octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT) • Polyhexanide (PHMB) • PolyVinylPyrrolidone-Iodine (PVP-I)
Kramer A et al. Zschr. Wundheilung 2004; 3:110-120 Biocompatibility-Index (BCI)
Aim: to assess antimicrobial efficacy and cytotoxicity at the same time.
• BCI = quotient of IC50 and CRF >log 3
– IC50 = concentration, which kills 50% of cells (fibroblasts). – CRF >log 3 = concentration to achieve min. 3 log reduction of test microorganism
Müller G et al. J Antimicrob Chemother 2008; 61: 1281-7. Interpretation of BCI
• BI > 1 – Low cytotoxicity / high antimicrobial efficacy – [high conc. needed/ low conc. needed]
• BI < 1 – High cytotoxicity / low antimicrobial efficacy – [low conc. needed/ high conc. needed] Biocompatibility-Index (BCI)

Combination of antiseptics and a novel methacrylate dressing Methacrylate Dressings
• Powder made of biocompatible Polymers (e.g. contact lenses) • 84.9 % poly-2 hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (pHEMA), • 14.9% poly-2 hydroxypropyl-methacrylate (pHPMA)
• The particles are microscopic in size and will form 4-7 nm wide capillary structures in-between. • Once poured into a wound, the particles absorb exudate from the wound site, hydrate and aggregate to form a flexible dressing. Application
Apply from sterile pouch to wound directly, then use gloved finger, gauze, or spatula, … to tap dressing into place.
