SCX Technology
Advanced Antimicrobial Technology for Wound Care
SCX Technology is a patented, multi-component antimicrobial complex designed to provide effective and sustained antimicrobial protection.
By combining a functionalized silicon dioxide matrix, active silver ions and chlorhexidine, SCX Technology helps protect the wound bed while supporting the physiological healing process.
THE CHALLENGE
The Limitations of Conventional Silver
Silver ions are well-established antimicrobial agents. However, their performance may be affected by chemical reactions and environmental conditions that reduce the availability of active silver ions over time.
Chemical Instability
Non-stabilized silver ions may react with substances present in the wound environment, reducing their antimicrobial availability and potentially causing discoloration.
Environmental Sensitivity
Exposure to light and temperature variations may affect the stability and performance of conventional silver formulations.
Rapid Inactivation
Without an effective stabilization system, silver ions may become inactive before providing sustained antimicrobial protection.
THE SCX SOLUTION
What Is SCX Technology?
SCX Technology is a patented antimicrobial complex that stabilizes active silver ions within a functionalized silicon dioxide matrix and combines them with chlorhexidine.
This synergistic system is designed to maintain the availability of the antimicrobial components and create a continuous protective barrier against microbial contamination.
THE SYNERGISTIC CORE MECHANISM
Functionalized Silicon Dioxide Matrix
The functionalized silicon dioxide matrix acts as the structural core of the SCX complex. It anchors and stabilizes the active silver ions through electrostatic interactions, helping to maintain their availability at the application site.
Active Silver Ions Ag+
Silver ions provide the primary antimicrobial action of the SCX complex. Their association with the functionalized SiO₂ matrix supports controlled and sustained availability, helping to maintain antimicrobial protection throughout the application period.
Chlorhexidine
Chlorhexidine provides a complementary antimicrobial mechanism of action. Its integration into the SCX complex strengthens the overall protective barrier and supports broad-spectrum antimicrobial performance.
HOW SCX TECHNOLOGY WORKS
Stabilizes
The functionalized SiO₂ matrix anchors and stabilizes the active silver ions.
Protects
Silver ions and chlorhexidine work together to create an active protective barrier against microbial contamination.
Supports Healing
By helping control the wound's microbial environment, SCX Technology supports the conditions required for physiological tissue regeneration.
Key Advantages for Clinical Practice
Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection
SCX Technology demonstrates antimicrobial activity against a broad range of tested microorganisms.
Bactericidal activity: Effective against tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including resistant strains such as MRSA.
Antifungal activity: Demonstrates activity against tested fungal species.
Enhanced Photochemical and Thermal Stability
The stabilization of silver ions within the functionalized SiO₂ matrix helps protect them from light and temperature induced degradation. This supports consistent antimicrobial performance throughout the application period.
Sustained Availability of Active Silver Ions
The SCX complex helps maintain the availability of active silver ions at the application site, supporting prolonged antimicrobial protection.
Antimicrobial Protection
SCX Technology creates a continuous protective barrier that helps reduce microbial contamination and the risk of infection.
Wound-Healing Support
Hyaluronic acid and kaolin in the spray, and hyaluronic acid and dimethicone in the cream, support an optimal environment for tissue regeneration.
ONE TECHNOLOGY. CONTINUOUS PROTECTION.
SCX Technology combines antimicrobial protection, enhanced stability and wound-healing support within an advanced, easy-to-use wound care platform.
