Effective and safe pure Hypochlorous Acid (pHA) wound cleanser formulated at optimal pH for wound healing. Recommended by various international guidelines.1-4

What is Vashe Solution?

Vashe Wound Solution is a pure Hypochlorous Acid (pHA) antimicrobial wound cleanser designed to never compromise on safety or efficacy. It disrupts biofilm and microbial colonies without harming key wound healing cells, and is formulated to a skin-friendly pH of 5.5 to support wound healing.

Vashe can be easily incorporated into existing protocols as it can be used across a broad range of wound types and for all patients including neonates and infants.

Vashe Wound Solution

pure Hypochlorous Acid (pHA)

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl): Replicating the body’s natural response to invading pathogens.

Vashe Benefits

Safe and Effective

HOCl is gentle on the wound and patient (safe) but agressive on the microorganisms (effective).

FEATURES

FEATURES BENEFITS

Safe

✔️ Contains pure hypochlorous acid (pHA) which is an oxidizing agent naturally produced by the body immune system to fight against invading pathogens.

✔️ Non-cytotoxic to key wound healing cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

✔️ No known contraindications and no known clinically relevant resistance.

✔️ Proven safe for use from head to toe, including peri-care and around mucous membranes and for neonates as young as 21 weeks.

Effective

✔️ Kills 99.9% of pathogens including fungi, spores, virus and multi-drug resistant bacteria within 15 seconds.

✔️ Disrupt biofilm after short exposure.

✔️ Facilitates debridement by disrupting fibrin formation and altering slough structure.

✔️ Recommended by various international guidelines.

Optimal pH

✔️ Formulated at skin-friendly pH of 5.5.

✔️ Supports optimal healing environment by providing an acidic environment.

✔️ Acidic environment is associated with higher antimicrobial properties, favourable to wound healing, helps preserves skin function and increase macrophages and fibroblast activity and ensure stratum corneum cohesion and barrier function.
