Abstract: There are a number of complications which have the potential to arise post-operatively and depending on the type of surgery being performed, the location and size of the incision sites, past medical history of the patient involved and patient compliance following the performed surgery, each of these factors play a major role in the post-surgical outcome. Of the many potential complications possible, infection at or around the incision site is not only common and costly but can lead to several devastating obstacles that are extremely strenuous on the patient, the surgeon and the patient’s primary care physician. microSURETM wound care is an antimicrobial antiseptic solution that utilizes nano molecular silicon dioxide to prevent such complications and this novel technology is continuing to be a promising one based on the outcomes observed thus far. This short literature will discuss our experience with using microSURETM wound care, review the technical information as it relates to nanomolecular silicon dioxide, and also explain the benefits of its use over some of the more commonly implemented treatment or preventative measures taken to help reduce the risk of surgical site infections.
