Using a simple experiment with one subject wearing an N95 mask, EDLab tested total volatile organic compounds (TVOC's), carbon dioxide levels, temperature, relative humidity, and microbial concentration in the micro-environment in and around the mask worn by the subject.

Key Points: 
  • Using a simple experiment with one subject wearing an N95 mask, EDLab tested total volatile organic compounds (TVOC's), carbon dioxide levels, temperature, relative humidity, and microbial concentration in the micro-environment in and around the mask worn by the subject.
  • When compared with the surrounding indoor air environment, the lab found within the mask increased levels of TVOC's (76%), carbon dioxide (459%), humidity (80%) and temperature (10%).
  • Microbial concentration (Staphylococcus epidermidis) was tested within the mask before and after the subject wore it during the experiment, resulting in a post-wearing increase of 110%.
  • "The effects of breathing elevated levels of carbon dioxide are well known and could have health implications.

This was true for all tested bacteria strains, which included S. epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, and MRSA, and all tested materials, as 3D printed PEKK significantly outperformed commercially available titanium and PEEK controls.

Key Points: 
  • This was true for all tested bacteria strains, which included S. epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, and MRSA, and all tested materials, as 3D printed PEKK significantly outperformed commercially available titanium and PEEK controls.
  • As expected, the experiment showed greater protein adsorption of lubricin, mucin, and casein on PEKK in comparison to PEEK and titanium controls.
  • This greater protein adsorption was then correlated to greater bacteria inhibition of 3D printed PEKK compared to commercially available PEEK and titanium.
  • This finding is extremely important as it provides objective evidence explaining why OPM's 3D printed PEKK exhibits inherent antibacterial effects.

KANTVIK, Finland, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --A recently published study in the Korean Journal of Microbiology titled 'Evaluation of xylitol as an agent that controls the growth of skin microbes: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes' has shown that XIVIA Xylitol has a positive effect on skin microbial growth.

Key Points: 
  • KANTVIK, Finland, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --A recently published study in the Korean Journal of Microbiology titled 'Evaluation of xylitol as an agent that controls the growth of skin microbes: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes' has shown that XIVIA Xylitol has a positive effect on skin microbial growth.
  • The researchers' aim was to investigate whether XIVIA Xylitol, a naturally occurring, sustainable wood-based sweetenerwidely approved for use in food and oral hygiene productscould have a potential role in skin microbial growth.
  • The growth of certain skin bacteria, as pure cultures, was measured in the presence of xylitol.
  • The findings showed that while the growth of pure cultures of pathogenic S. aureus and C. acnes strains linked to skin conditions were inhibited by xylitol, the growth of skin commensal S. epidermidis strain was not affected.
