Nexodyn acid oxidising solution (AOS) is an active wound cleanser with ancillary antimicrobial benefits that enable it to be used for debridement, wound irrigation, cleansing and moistening. Nexodyn contains hypochlorous acid (HCIO), which is very safe and is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of microorganisms within the solution and thus acts as a preservative. HCIO plays an active role in restarting healing, reducing pain and providing protection from the risk of infection.
