Antimicrobial therapeutic cleanser and synergistic emollient designed specifically for diabetic, HIV, and oncology patient care. This safe, gentle antimicrobial solution effectively removes organic material, eliminates odor, and moisturizes dry skin with routine bathing and site maintenance.

Diabetic patients with compromised immune systems have basically lost the natural ability of the dermis to fight bacterial contamination and resulting dermal infection.

CC-500® addresses this function and reduces the possibility of skin tears and odors.

CC-500® has been utilized at a number of diabetic clinics with significant infection reduction results. The product is effective against M.R.S.A., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Diphtheroid, Clostridium difficile, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, and Mycobacterium smegmatis.

CC-500® can also be used effectively as a foot soak for diabetic feet in programs of preventative care to counteract dry, cracked heels and toes. In addition, it can be used to prevent toenail infection or treat existing infected conditions. For non-healing ulcers cleanse area with Techni-Care antimicrobial wound decontaminate. Massage Care-Creme antimicrobial transdermal cream into the feet to keep bacteria counts down between bathing with CC-500® or Techni-Care.

CC-500® is available to hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, and clinics through national medical supply distributors. For technical information, please contact Care-Tech Customer Service at 1-800-325-9681, or contact your local distributor.
