Biosafety Evaluation and Quantitative Determination of Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) Coated on Cellulosic Fabrics by Kubelka-Munk Equation [PDF]
Cellulose, 2021 Abstract It is a challenge to determine the quantity of cationic finishing agents on the surface of cellulosic fabrics. Herein, we report a direct and feasible method by Kubelka-Munk equation to quantify the cationic poly (hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) adsorbed onto cotton fabrics based on the principle of formation of a stable ...

Screening-enhanced effect enables poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride to effectively overcome charge screening limitations [PDF]
Abstract The charge screening caused by ionic strength always brings about negative effects. Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) was found to possess screening-enhanced effect and could effectively overcome charge screening limitations. However, the mechanism of action is unknown.

Journal of Kerman University of Medical SciencesBackground: The significance of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is that it increases morbidity, mortality, and treatment costs. The incidence of infections is reduced by the use of antibiotic-impregnated dressings at the central catheter insertion site. In this context, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)-containing dressings have

Uluslararası Muhendislik Arastirma ve Gelistirme DergisiSurgical sutures are widely utilized medical devices for the purpose of closing wounds after surgical interventions. During surgical procedures, sutures can come into contact with microorganisms in the surrounding environment, leading to the development of bacterial biofilms and subsequent surgical site infections (SSI).
