Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid: Its Role in Decreasing Tissue Bacterial Bioburden and Overcoming the Inhibition of Infection on Wound Healing

This stabilized form of hypochlorous acid (NVC-101) could have potential application as an antimicrobial wound irrigation and treatment solution if its effective pH range can be maintained in the c...

The Inhibition of Bacterial Growth by Hypochlorous Acid. Possible Role in the Bactericidal Activity of Phagocytes

These effects were apparent within 5 min of HOCl exposure, and were not reversed by extensive washings. DNA synthesis (incorporation of [3H]-thymidine) was significantly affected by even a 1 min ex...

1915 Experimental Observations on the Antiseptic Action of Hypochlorous Acid and Its Application to Wound Treatment

In our observations on the hypochlorites we found that hypochlorous acid is a more potent germicide than its salts, and we have accordingly-devised a method in which the free acid is employed as th...
