Microklenz Wound Cleanser

Microklenz from Medline is an antimicrobial general purpose wound cleanser built for one job: clearing debris, exudate, and contaminants from the wound bed so healing can proceed on clean tissue. If you manage chronic wounds, pressure injuries, surgical sites, or minor abrasions, cleansing is the step that determines how well every dressing that follows performs — and this is a cleanser clinicians reach for when they want consistent, gentle irrigation without harsh scrubbing.

The Medline Microklenz General Purpose Wound Cleanser (CRR108008) is a non-sterile, antimicrobial formulation designed to loosen and lift dried exudate, slough, and surface contaminants during routine dressing changes. Its surfactant action does the mechanical work so caregivers can flush wounds effectively without aggressive wiping that disturbs granulating tissue. The antimicrobial property helps reduce surface bioburden, an important factor in wounds prone to stalling from bacterial load.

A common question is whether a non-sterile cleanser is appropriate: non-sterile products like this are intended for chronic and open wounds that are not surgically sterile fields — everyday cleaning in home care, long-term care, and outpatient settings. For freshly closed surgical incisions or deep sterile procedures, a sterile saline or sterile irrigation is the better match. Microklenz shines in the recurring, real-world cleansing that wound care actually involves day to day.

Because cleansing is only the first step, Microklenz pairs naturally with the dressings you already stock. Once the wound is prepped, move to the appropriate covering for the exudate level and wound type — browse our Advanced Wound Dressings for absorbent and moisture-managing options, or explore targeted solutions among our Antimicrobial Dressings when bioburden control matters at the wound surface too.

Facilities and caregivers value Microklenz for its predictability: a familiar formula, straightforward application, and reliable Medline supply. Keep it on hand wherever dressing changes happen.
