Antimicrobial efficacy of a very stable hypochlorous acid formula compared to other antiseptics used in treating wounds. In vitro study on microorganisms with or without biofilm

ConclusionsClHO at medium-low concentrations (300 or 500 mg/L) is a good antiseptic that can be used on wounds and mucous membranes for 5-10 minutes. Lower concentrations of ClHO, as well as of the other antiseptics studied, were less effective or more altered by the biofilm. ClHO at a concentration of 1500 mg/L is very effective in presence or absence of biofilm that can be used on healthy skin for 5 minutes.
