Because Surgical site infections are detrimental, yet preventable
SurgX™ is an innovative surgical gel designed to help reduce superficial
surgical site infections (SSIs) and protect wound tissue to facilitate natural
healing. The clever combination of proven ingredients and elegant
chemistry destroys pathogens within the gel and defends post-surgical
wounds from infection and biofilm formation.
Destroy Infectious Agents within SurgX
Leveraging Next Science’s proprietary Xbio™ technology, the comprehensive formulation kills pathogens enveloped within the gel by creating a high osmolarity environment coupled with a surfactant to induce cell lysis. The unique mechanism of action has broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, persister cells, and spores, and can show a 7 log colony reduction within 2 minutes.1,2
Protect and Defend against SSI
The sterile gel creates a protective superhydrophilic layer that prevents surface attachment of free-floating bacteria while the Xbio technology eliminates pathogens in the gel3. The gel formulation quickly conforms to the wound-bed on and around the surgical site and maintains a consistent barrier that can defend against recolonization for up to 72 hours.3
Non-toxic
SurgX is non-toxic and is compatible with a broad range of dressings*. It provides a protective, moist environment that safely facilitates natural healing.
