  • Yes. This is a normal observation as a result of using Vetericyn for cleansing and debriding the affected area.
• How is Vetericyn made?
  • Vetericyn is made via a unique electrolysis manufacturing process in which purified water containing trace amounts of sodium chloride (NaCl) is oxidized creating a proprietary solution of oxidized water (water is broken down into oxygen and other oxidized species) and oxy-chlorine species (hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite).
• Has Vetericyn’s efficacy and safety been proven in clinical studies?
  • Vetericyn is marketed based on a US FDA approved wound care medical device technology for human use, and there are no current regulatory requirements by the FDA for animal device clearance. It is legal and viable to use current Vetericyn consumer product and Vetericyn VF for the use of animal care. To demonstrate its safety and effectiveness, there were two major animal clinical studies and 25 human clinical studies have been conducted to date.
    • Recent animal studies include:
      • Large Animal Respiratory Infections: In the first study, we tested our technology against Moraxella catarrhalis, a gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive diplococcus, which causes respiratory tract-associated infection in both animals and humans. Our technology killed M. catarrhalis to the limit (99.98888889%) at each test data point = 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, five minutes and 15 minutes.
      • Cattle Pink Eye: In a second study performed at Texas A&M, our technology was tested successfully against Moraxella bovis, the cause of Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis, or cattle pinkeye. The disease is relatively common (though infecting cattle only) and is transmitted by flies. Vetericyn killed to the limit in five-minute and 10-minute test intervals. Results are forthcoming. The existing two common medical treatments for cattle pink eye are challenging and expensive:
        • Subconjunctival injection of a Tetracycline, or
        • A topical application of Cloxacillin.
  • As well, our technology has been the proven effective in reducing/curing infection and/or speeding the healing process in 25 clinical studies (many of them peer-reviewed) conducted on over 800 human patients worldwide.
