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 is not an antibiotic and it does not have any direct antimicrobial action – it does not kill the bacteria. Bacteria have two main defence mechanisms by which they fight off the body’s immune cells: Toxins and biofilm. MPPT removes the toxins when it absorbs the…
Yes. MPPT has assisted in clearing up antibiotic resistant infections. MPPT is not an antibiotic but instead allows the body’s own immune system access to the bacteria enabling the immune cells to fight back via many different routes. MPPT will not contribute to the creation of antibiotic resistance.
Yes. MPPT has assisted in the healing of wounds that had not healed for 2-3 years.
