Innovative safe chlorine products for wounds, skin antisepsis and medical device disinfection

Even though chlorine is not the only active chemical in our product line, chlorine is truly the core of our products. Today chlorine is the number one disinfectant worldwide. The effectiveness of this ingredient is demonstrated by large numbers of scientific reports and there is still no known strain of bacteria resistant to it. Sodium hypochlorite's potential has not been fully exploited in the medical field due to the unavailability of a pharmaceutical grade product: manufacturers are interested in sodium hypochlorite for industrial use ( big quantity, low quality, no quality control ).

Alcavis International represents the exception: our chemists have committed themselves to discovering a method of producting a pharmaceutical grade hypochlorite solution that is effective at killing bacteria, fast acting, non-destructive to PVC materials (found in catheters), stable for long periods of time, easy to use, and the safe for patient and staff.

Alcavis products are chlorine based disinfectants electrolytically produced by using a brine of purified water and sodium chloride (salt). The main features of our products are: low concentrations of available chlorine (1.1%), high concentration of sodium chloride (18%) and, overall, excellent stability. We do not add sodium hydroxide to stabilize our products like that of common "bleach". This gives us relevant advantages over bleach from a microbiological and clinical point of view.
