How Anasept Works — and Why It's Different From Silver
Silver-based wound dressings and gels are effective — but they're expensive, and some wound types and patient profiles require an alternative. Anasept delivers comparable broad-spectrum antimicrobial performance through a fundamentally different mechanism: 0.057% sodium hypochlorite, a modified form of the same compound the body's own immune cells use to kill pathogens. Because bacteria cannot develop resistance to this mechanism the way they can to antibiotics or silver, there is no known resistance to Anasept's active agent — a significant clinical advantage in facility settings managing drug-resistant organisms.
- Kills Staph aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter baumannii
- Kills antibiotic-resistant MRSA, VRE, CRE, and C. difficile
- Kills fungi including Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger
- Virucidal activity against common wound pathogens
- No known resistance to sodium hypochlorite — reliable performance regardless of organism resistance profile
- Clear, isotonic formula — does not stain, is colorless, and allows wound visualization
- Absorbs excess exudate or donates moisture as needed — adapts to wound drainage level
- Supports autolytic debridement — helps soften and loosen necrotic tissue naturally
- Controls wound odor — reduces purulent exudate in infected wound beds
- Substantial cost savings over silver-based dressings and gels — same broad-spectrum coverage at lower cost
- FDA safety evaluated — passed Modified Skin Irritation Study (7-day repeated insult to intact and abraded skin)
How to Apply
- Clean the wound or skin area before applying
- Apply Anasept Gel directly to the wound bed or affected skin surface
- Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing
- Change secondary dressing daily — reapply Anasept Gel as needed
- Anasept Gel is active for up to 48 hours per application
- For professional use — follow physician direction for wound treatment protocols
- External use only — do not use in or around eyes
- For best results use alongside Anasept Antimicrobial Skin & Wound Cleanser (liquid companion product)
1.5 oz. vs. 3 oz. — Which Size Is Right?
- 1.5 oz. Tube (5015G) — Ideal for smaller wounds, short-term treatment, or evaluating Anasept for a new patient or protocol
- 3 oz. Tube (5003G) — Best value for larger wounds, ongoing home care, or facility stock where consistent antimicrobial gel application is part of the wound care protocol
