Is there a risk of infection with the use of WoundSeal?
No infections have been reported with the use of WoundSeal. WoundSeal Powder has passed all FDA-required safety and toxicity testing. Recent in-vitro studies show that WoundSeal Powder forms a seal that provides a microbial barrier over the wound site such that nothing goes in and nothing comes out. On the distal side of the seal, pH is low, creating a hostile environment against colonizing microbes. This testing also showed that WoundSeal Powder killed common microbes for 7 days with a daily rechallenge.
