DAC® | DEFENSIVE ANTIBACTERIAL COATING

The DAC® is a product designed for the preparation and application of a bio-resorbable hydrogel coating (based on hyaluronic acid and polylactic acid) to be used in the orthopaedic/dental and traumatology field.

​

The product is indicated in orthopedic surgery in general including vertebral surgery, maxillofacial, thoracic, traumatology, joint surgery and dentistry.

​

The function of this hydrogel is to create a temporary physical barrier onto the surface of implantable devices against the adhesion of planktonic bacteria, and therefore against colonization of the surface and biofilm formation.

 

The effect displayed by DAC® takes place in the very first hours after surgery, and then the device is completely hydrolyzed.

 

The protective barrier generated by DAC® hydrogel on the treated surface has been specifically designed to last only for a short period (3 days) in order not to negatively interfere with osteo-integration.
