Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Vashe Wound Therapy Solution?
Vashe Wound Therapy is a safe, biocompatible solution that includes the naturally occurring molecule hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as a preservative. Vashe Wound Therapy is a tissue-friendly solution that is applied directly to wounds to cleanse them and remove dead tissue. It is produced at a robust concentration to optimize effectiveness, yet it is pH-controlled so it won't sting or burn. Wound care centers and hospitals throughout the country use this clinically proven solution every day as a biocompatible alternative to commonly used irrigating and cleansing solutions that inhibit healing.
