Environmental Fate of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is used as a bacteriocidal agent in a variety of applications from medical devices to pools, but is highly toxic to some aquatic species. The stability of PHMB in various environmental matrices was examined. 80% of PHMB was present in fortified creek samples after 20 days, but bound immediately to soils with the ...

Fabrication of collagen with polyhexamethylene biguanide: A potential scaffold for infected wounds
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 2021AbstractBacterial infection remains a great challenge in wound healing, especially in chronic wounds. Multidrug‐resistant organisms are increasing in acute and chronic wound infections, which compromise the chance of therapeutics. Resistance to conventional antibiotics has created an urge to study new approach/system that can effectively control wound ...

Polyhexamethylene biguanide dressings in wound management
Nursing Standard, 2011This article describes wound management using polyhexamethylene biguanide dressings in two patients experiencing multiple comorbidities. Wound bed debridement and bioburden management were important factors in achieving positive results in terms of promoting wound healing and reducing infection and malodour.

Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) in the Treatment of Experimental Fusarium Keratomycosis
Cornea, 1997We wanted to determine whether topical polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) 0.02% was effective in the treatment of experimental Fusarium keratomycosis in rabbits.Fusarium solani keratomycosis was induced in the eyes of 12 New Zealand white rabbits. The rabbits were treated with PHMB 0.02% in one eye and placebo in the other eye for 6 days.

Effects of Ionic and Surfactant Agents on the Antimicrobial Activity of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide
Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2011Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is included in multipurpose solutions for contact lenses as a disinfectant. Both cationic and hydrophobic features of PHMB are believed to support its association with microbial cell membranes through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1993
We developed an intensive treatment regimen of topical neomycin, propamidine, and polyhexamethylene biguanide that was tapered to a maintenance level over a 14- to 28-day period as toxicity developed. Since July 1991, we used this treatment on six eyes of five patients in whom Acanthamoeba keratitis was diagnosed clinically.
