Microcyn HOCl Technology
Microcyn is a stable, highly efficacious pH-neutral wound irrigant based on the science of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is a highly efficient, antimicrobial agent that is generated by human cells as a defensive agent.
Antimicrobial Properties
-
HOCl, an ingredient in Microcyn, is 70 times more efficacious than the active ingredient in bleach, sodium hypochlorite.
-
Microcyn is broad spectrum and rapidly antimicrobial, effective against viruses, fungi and spores via unique mechanism of action.
-
Biocompatible and as safe as saline.Biocompatible and Non-Toxic
-
Clinically, Microcyn is a biocompatible wound irrigant that is stable, non-toxic, non-cytotoxic, and non-irritating with antimicrobial properties.
-
Microcyn is very efficacious at levels of free available chlorine (FAC) below the point at which toxicity begins.

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCI) and the Human Inflammatory Response
-
In phagocytosis, HOCI is present in the phagosome at about 300 ppm.
-
HOCI at concentrations on the order of 300 ppm been shown to be safe in irrigants - wound cleaners
-
Neutrophils can chemically sense pathogens in their immediate environment via biochemical signaling methods and direct contact, resulting in phagocytosis of the pathogen.
-
The pathogen is engulfed into an intracellular structure (phagosome), followed by biochemical reactions within the phagosome including the intracellular production of HOCI.
-
Rapid pathogen destruction ensues secondary to pathogen cell wall destruction and essential internal protein disruption.
-
Pathogen debris is ejected from the neitophil along with some HOCI
