Decisions, Decisions: Why Choosing BIHOCL Hypochlorous is So Advantageous
With so many different hypochlorous acid products and formulations on the market, it can be difficult to know which products provide you and your patients with the most optimal formulation. In this blog post, we share factors you should consider prior to choosing a hypochlorous acid product to ensure purity, efficacy, and safety.
Four Factors to Consider When Choosing An HOCl Product
There are numerous manufacturers of hypochlorous acid, and many products available on the market, but buyer beware: not all hypochlorous acid products are created equally. When it comes to choosing an HOCl product you and your patients can trust, always consider the four following factors:
- Purity
- Stability
- Format
- Reliability
Purity
It's important to ensure that the hypochlorous acid solution you are using is pure and free of contaminants, chemicals, and unwanted byproducts. In fact, some manufacturers of hypochlorous acid may use inferior techniques to produce their solutions, resulting in the use of buffers, bleach or impurities in the final product. If buffers are added to the solution to stabilize the pH level, they can reduce the effectiveness of the hypochlorous acid². Likewise, the use of bleach to adjust the pH of the product can decrease the purity of the solution and introduce unwanted chemical compounds².
BIHOCL hypochlorous is manufactured using a proprietary process that ensures a the highest purity HOCl available today, with no use of bleach or buffers, making it a safe and effective solution for health care applications.
Stability
The effectiveness of hypochlorous acid can be compromised if the solution is not stable¹. Since HOCl is a loosely-bound, highly reactive molecule, it can easily react with substances that come in contact with it and render the product less and less effective over time². As HOCl reacts or is used up, it essentially converts back to saline solution with low efficacy.
BIHOCL hypochlorous is scientifically formulated to maintain stability over time, ensuring consistent performance throughout the shelf life of the product. Our HOCl has an industry-leading 2-year unopened shelf life, and an impressive duration of 6 months once opened.
Format
The format of the solution can greatly impact its ease of use and effectiveness. To meet the needs of different wound types and clinical settings, we offer a range of sizes and formats that include sprayers, instillation caps, dispensing caps, attachments like probes and shields, and more.
Reliability
It's important to choose a hypochlorous acid solution from a reputable and reliable manufacturer.
