See publication The purpose was to evaluate the ability of MPPT to reduce the time to reaching a clean wound and to achieve wound closure in a pre-clinical wound model. A wound was induced in the rat by administering 1 ml 10% calcium chloride solution into the subcutaneous…
Yes. MPPT supports autolytic debridement of a wound. MPPT is not classified as a debrider. However, as MPPT via its mode of action supports the immune system, it favours the debridement of a wound by way of autolytic debridement.
Where MPPT touches the biofilm, the MPPT micro-pumps absorb and suck away the water in the biofilm. This creates holes in the biofilm which allow the immune system access to the bacteria inside. Now the immune system can do its job and clear the infection. MPPT works this…
Biofilm is a mucous substance that bacteria secrete and in which they embed themselves. Biofilms are part of the bacterial defences against the immune system and constitute a barrier to the body’s immune cells as these encounter considerable difficulties penetrating the biofilm in order to target the bacteria…
No. MPPT consists of microspheres. Nano is 1000 times smaller than micro.
MPPT powder consists of tiny micropore particles that can access all the crevices and areas that would not be touched by a traditional bandage type dressing. Therefore, MPPT can work on the entire wound surface, including undermined areas, tunnelling, sinuses and similar. Therefore, to make the most of…
MPPT sucks the exudate fluid away from the wound surface by means of capillary forces. Capillary forces automatically stop the sucking action as soon as there is no longer any excess fluid present because air will enter the system and break the continuous water column. Consequently, the suction…
MPPT sucks the exudate fluid away from the wound surface by means of capillary forces. Capillary forces only work when there is excess fluid present. Therefore, the suction stops automatically as soon as there is no longer any excess fluid present and, consequently, there will never be any…
Capillary action is the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension. In less technical terms, capillary action occurs because water is sticky, which means that water molecules stick to each other and to other materials.…
MPPT works in three steps: Absorption, Pumping by capillary forces and Evaporation. The Exudate is absorbed into the MPPT micropore particles. These are highly porous and the pores (or capillaries) are interconnected. The capillaries work as a battery of small individual pumps that by means of capillary forces…
