A reminder of the importance of washing your hands before preparing food. This is very worrying news especially as the food we eat is often prepared by other people.

Despite having plagued humans for millennia, typhoid fever is rarely considered a threat in developed countries today.

Wound exudate, the fluid produced by wounds, plays a crucial role in healing. But there is more than one type, so here is what you need to know.

Types of exudate:

1. Serous: Clear and watery, this exudate is usually seen in the early stages of healing and indicates a healthy recovery. It can be a little sticky.

2. Sanguineous: Red and thin, containing blood, it may appear in fresh wounds. It's typically not a concern unless bleeding persists or increases.

3. Serosanguineous: Pink and thin, a mix of serous and sanguineous fluids, common in surgical incisions.

4. Purulent: What we know as pus. This is thick, yellow or green, and usually smells bad. This type of discharge indicates infection. Please consult with a doctor if you are treating a wound that starts to ooze this sort of exudate.

When should you worry about your wound?

🩸 A sudden increase in the amount of fluid can indicate infection or other complications.
🩸 Yellow, green, or foul-smelling exudate suggests infection.
🩸 Fever, increased pain, or swelling around the wound requires medical evaluation.

Recognising changes in wound exudate can be key to ensuring proper healing and addressing complications early. Our Trifectiv wound dressing protocol, using woven gauze, allows you to quickly see if there are changes in the wound discharge when you change the dressing.

Always consult a healthcare professional if you're unsure or you are worried about infection.

⚗️ The test of true hypochlorous acid lies in the chemistry.

Electrolysing saline produces a mix of HOCl + salt. But the salt destabilises the HOCl molecule over time — leaving you with undesirable byproducts like sodium hypochlorite (bleach), and inconsistent results.

Trifectiv Plus, made by Thoclor Labs, contains no sodium chloride. It’s a pharmaceutical-grade HOCl verified by independent labs to remain stable for 2 years.

🌿 Anti-inflammatory
🩹 Accelerates healing by up to 70 %
🧪 Proven safe and effective

It’s science-backed care — not chemistry by chance.

So before you buy an HOCl wound spray, check the label 👀
• Does it list saline, sodium chloride or electrolysed water?
• Are there fragrances or essential oils added?
• Is it bottled in plastic?
• Is the shelf life only 6 or 12 months?

If yes — that’s not the best HOCl for your money.

Trifectiv Plus contains only water + HOCl, making it safe and effective.

That’s the Trifectiv difference.

💡 Not all hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is created equal.
When we launched Thoclor Labs (the manufacturer of Trifectiv Plus) back in 2018, HOCl was almost unheard of, especially in skincare. A year later, we added our wound care spray, but we were still met with plenty of scepticism.

Then the pandemic came along, and suddenly HOCl was everywhere — in sanitisers, fogging systems, even homemade brews. But just because you can DIY it, doesn't mean that all HOCl is the same, and it doesn't make them all stable, safe or effective.

Most solutions on the market are manufactured using a method that gives an unstable result. As the HOCl degrades over time, other undesirable (and sometimes toxic) by-products and components (like sodium hypochlorite or bleach) may also be found in the solution. These variable levels of HOCl will of course give you variable results.
✅ Trifectiv Plus is made with our patented sodium chloride (salt) free process
✅ Our products are packaged in glass, not plastic, which keeps our pharmaceutical-grade HOCl happy
✅ Independently verified to be stable for over 2 years

When we say our hypochlorous acid solutions are the industry leaders, we mean it.

Wet-to-moist wound debridement is an essential part of effective wound healing. Gauze, when paired with the pharmaceutical-grade hypochlorous acid from Trifectiv, is an important tool in the debridement process.

🔍Here's why we use it in our closed-dressing wound protocol:

1. Gauze helps to gently remove dead tissue from wounds. The gauze fibres stick to exudate (secretions), necrotic tissue and biofilm which means these are removed from the wound with each dressing change. This effective yet gentle debridement optimises healing and radically reduces inflammation. 🩹

2. Gauze is an economical option, making it accessible in a variety of healthcare settings without compromising on efficacy. 💰

3. Several layers of gauze (4 or 5), wet with Trifectiv Plus, and then applied to the wound help to maintain a moist wound environment. A moist wound environment is the best for healing, supporting cellular activity and tissue regeneration, while preventing the wound bed from drying out. 💧

4. Available in various sizes and types, gauze is versatile and easily adapted to wounds of different sizes and depths. It can even be plugged into deeper wounds to ensure that the complete surface of the wound is in contact with our First Aid in a Bottle. 🔄

5. The application and removal of gauze is easy and straightforward, making it a practical choice for both healthcare providers and caregivers. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Continuous advancements in wound care technologies are exciting, yet the foundational role of gauze in wound debridement remains steadfast.

We have been speaking about pet first aid recently. There are many instances when you can handle cuts and scrapes at home, but there are also times you must see the vet.

Do not hesitate to go to the vet 🚑 if:
- The wound is deep or bleeding won’t stop 🩸
- Your pet shows pain, distress or shock 😟
- There’s a fight/bite (puncture = likely infection) 🐕‍🦺🦷
- A foreign object is in the wound/eye 🪵👁️
- Swelling, smell or oozing appears after 24–48 hours ⚠️
- Post-op stitches open or look infected 🧵❌
- Your pet is lethargic, feverish or off food 🤒🍽️‍

Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is ✅ And if in doubt, seek professional help.

Now that you have stocked up that pet first-aid kit after last week's post, here's how you can put this to good use.

Some pet first-aid issues are DIY-friendly if you know the steps ⛑️:
- Cuts/scrapes 🐾: Rinse with warm water, trim surrounding fur (don’t shave), disinfect with a pet-safe spray like our Wound & Burn Care, cover with non-stick gauze + light vet wrap if needed. Monitor daily 👀
- Post-surgery care 🧵: Keep stitches clean, dry and protected. Be sure to use a cone to prevent licking, biting or stitches being torn out. Apply our medical-grade HOCl spray to clean, closed surgical sites to speed healing and prevent inflammation. Remember to watch for redness, swelling or odour - any sign of these and it's back to the vet please ⚠️
- Ulcers or pressure sores 🔄: Clean gently with warm water, rinse well and spray with our Wound & Burn Care or other pet-safe wound spray 🧴. In most cases you can leave these open to heal (with regular HOCl application) unless your vet says otherwise.
- Weepy or red eyes : Flush with sterile saline 💧and check for foreign objects. Our pet-friendly HOCl can be used to wipe the eye by spraying it onto a piece of gauze. Never use human eye drops 🚫

Remember that this is first aid = a first response, not full treatment 🧠. If in doubt, see your vet!
