1 Super Oxidized Solutions (SOS) From the Basic Science to the Bedside Andrés A Gutiérrez MD PhD Oculus Innovative Sciences Petaluma, California

2 Use of Antimicrobials in Wound Care Oral-Parenteral Antibiotics First line therapy in wound infection / colonization Emergence of resistant bacteria Side effects and increased costs of treatment Topical Antimicrobials Biocides could be useful but are toxic Poor quality of trials & small sample size SOS therapy?

3 Early Super Oxidized Solutions Produced by the electrolysis of water and NaCl Acidic or alkaline ph High Chlorine content (> 500 ppm) Potent anti-infective agents w/ clinical uses Unstable - Shelf life of days or hours Irritation and sensitization Tanaka. JHI, 1996 Inoue, Artif Org, 1997

4 Challenge for Oculus Neutral ph Solution Low chlorine content Preserves biocidal activity Non irritation sensitization S T A B L E

5 ph neutral-super Oxidized Solutions Microcyn Technology Chemical Reactions O 2, O 3, and others Microcyn Technology utilizes a unique multi chamber electrolysis cell e - Anode H 2 O Cl 2 + H 2 O 2Cl - HOCl + HCl + NaOH Oxidized Water 99.9 % Reactive oxychlorine species 0.1 % FAC 80 ppm ph Stable for over 1 year NaOCl
