About Prosit™ Technology
Procellera™: The electrically active wound dressing.
Prosit™: The technology that makes it happen.
Procellera Wound Care with Prosit™ Technology was developed for acute and chronic wound care. Procellera™ is a sterile, single layer dressing consisting of a proprietary blend of elements that are held in position on the polyester with a biocompatible binder. It is self-contained, wireless, and can be cut to fit. No external power supply is required. The device is activated in the presence of a conductive fluid, which may come from wound exudate or exogenous fluids including saline. When activated, the presence of adjacent positive and negative charged cells spontaneously produce a sustained predetermined current of specific depth similar to the current that occurs at areas of skin injury in normal hosts. This physiologic current of injury is necessary for the initiation of wound healing and the transport of cells to the healing wound site.
Additionally, microbial killing in a bioelectric field is enhanced by the fact that electrically charged microbes are attracted to the positive pole. Gram negative and positive microbes carry a negative charge. All microbes, therefore, are attracted to the positive pole containing silver. Silver then binds the sulfhydril groups of the microbes and denatures the proteins that destroy the respiratory function of the microbe as well as other essential proteins within the microbe. Silver also kills viruses and fungi in a similar method by binding with sulfhydril groups and denaturing other proteins. Being that the bioelectric current is generated by the elements, there is also synergistic antimicrobial activity within the intrinsic properties of these elements.
The new Procellera™ bioelectric dressing with Prosit™ technology is FDA cleared for professional use for partial and fullthickness wounds. Under the supervision of a health care professional, the Prosit™ Antimicrobial Dressing may be used for light to moderately exudating partial and full thickness wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first and second degree burns, surgical incisions, and graft donor sites. Over-the-counter use for minor cuts, scrapes, irritations, and abrasions. Patients have seen accelerated wound healing, pain reduction and the product has been clinically proven to kill harmful microbes. Clinically, Procellera™ bioelectric dressing is a novel emerging option for both acute and chronic wounds.
