MedCu Copper Alginate
Copper-oxide antimicrobial technology — broad-spectrum defense with no known bacterial resistance pathway.
Overview
MedCu brings a differentiated antimicrobial mechanism to the alginate class. Its absorbent contact layer and non-adherent outer layer are both impregnated with copper oxide particles that release copper ions continuously on contact with wound fluid. Copper's multi-target mode of action extends to resistant organisms including MRSA and VRE, disrupts biofilm, and carries anti-inflammatory character that favors tissue regeneration — a compelling option where silver has underperformed.
Distinctions
- Dual-layer construction impregnated with copper oxide
- Broad-spectrum action including resistant organisms
- Disrupts biofilm architecture
- Anti-inflammatory profile supportive of regeneration
- Continuous ion release across wear time
Clinical Indications
Diabetic wounds; leg and foot ulcers; pressure ulcers; first- and second-degree burns; surgical wounds.
Considerations
Not for use with known copper sensitivity.
