- NTCAN Technology allows the production of natural (organic/green), stable, chelated copper-containing amino acid complexes (NTCAN™ MedCu complexes) for medical use as an alternative to traditional disinfecting solutions since they are highly pure, natural disinfectants capable of destroying biofilms and a wide range of pathogens while being safe when ingested by the human body.
- NTCAN™ MedCu complexes are combinations of coordinated compounds of copper, active oxygen, and ethyl alcohol. Due to the synergistic effect of the components, it provides a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive (for example, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Listeria monocytogenes) and gram-negative (for example, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria, viruses (adenovirus, norovirus, and poliovirus) and fungi (Candida albicans, Malassezia and Aspergillus brasiliensis).
- NTCAN™ Med-Cu-NAC complexes are effective in accelerating wound healing, help maintain the skin barrier functions by stimulating cell regeneration and protein synthesis, and also forms a protective antibacterial coating on the skin.
- NTCAN™ Med-Cu-NAC is a sterile solution containing Cupric acetylcysteine, enriched with active oxygen (H2O2), safe for external use and can be used in diluted form:
– for treating the skin and mucous membranes before and after surgery, the copper content in the solution is from 500 ppm, H2O2 0.05% (transparent solution).
– in case of infection of wounds with gram-negative microflora, use a solution of Cu up to 2000 ppm, H2O2 0.1% (solution with a slight blue tint).
- NTCAN™ Med-Cu-NAC does not irritate the wound surface and mucous membranes, which makes it especially popular for treating the skin and mucous membranes before and after surgery, treating infected wounds, including post-traumatic and postoperative wounds, burns, trophic ulcers, bedsores, skin infections, including infectious dermatitis and eczema, mucosal infections, etc.
- Novotech offers NTCAN™ Copper Prolinate (NTCAN™ Cu-Pro) is a unique new complex with able to form stable alcoholic solutions. The constituent components of NTCAN™ Cu-Pro in an alcohol-containing solution combine the high antiseptic properties of copper ions and the healing properties of prolinate. If necessary, additional antiviral and antibacterial components (natural and synthetic antibiotics, etc.) can be included in this complex.
- It is advisable to use NTCAN™ Cu-Pro complex as:
– antimicrobial and healing additives in alcohol-containing preparations for the disinfection of open wounds, scratches, cuts, burns, etc. In this case, copper ions and amino acids participate in the formation of collagen and elastin of the skin directly in the affected area, and also form a thin protective film that acts as a physical and antibacterial barrier against pathogens, as well as a wound-healing matrix.
– as an active ingredient in alcohol-containing antihistamines aimed at neutralizing poisonous insect bites and plant burns. The combination of copper ions and prolinate allows you to neutralize toxins by destroying their protein structure and, accordingly, preventing the body’s immune response, while prolinate promotes skin healing and more effectively restores its protective barrier properties compared to traditional medications (local anesthetics/antihistamines/corticosteroids).
– as a new topical anti-inflammatory ingredient in ear drops for the prevention and treatment of infections of the outer ear, as a component for drying water in the ear canal and antibacterial treatment against a wide range of pathogens found in it. Unlike traditional alcohol-containing materials, the proposed complex allows not only to ensure the drying of water in the ear, but also to destroy a wide range of infections, as well as restore its skin.
- The use of NTCAN™ Cu-Pro will also make it possible to create an alternative type of natural sanitizers from plant and natural raw materials capable of, simultaneously with a prolonged antimicrobial effect, forming a thin layer of copper prolinate on the skin, ensuring the preservation and restoration of its lipid protection, as well as the formation of collagen and elastin in its structure.
