Antimicrobial Additives for Medical Devices
The antimicrobial additives for medical devices is an advanced controlled release antimicrobial treatment for wound dressings, bandages, and various medical devices.
ZeoVation’s smart particle antimicrobial is used to help prevent infection and protect from common infectious bacteria and other contaminants.
The value proposition that has motivated the development of our antimicrobial is the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the dramatic fall in the number of antibiotics in development.
