Pure, Safe, Reliable Non‑Toxic HOCl for Everyday Clinical Hygiene

EstormHOCl | Clinical-Grade Antimicrobial Stewardship

Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid for Infection Control & Biofilm Eradication

EstormHOCl is a high-purity, pH-neutral hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solution engineered for the rigorous demands of primary care, secondary care, and dental surgery. By replicating the oxidative burst, the endogenous microbicidal mechanism of human neutrophils, EstormHOCl provides a potent, non-toxic alternative to legacy phenols, aldehydes, and quats.

Defining EstormHOCl (Clinical Summary)

EstormHOCl is a stabilized, bio-identical oxidant that delivers rapid, broad-spectrum pathogen neutralization. It is classified as a non-cytotoxic antimicrobial, making it uniquely suited for environments where high-level disinfection must coexist with human tissue safety and respiratory health.

Key Regulatory Compliance: Formulated to meet BS EN 14476 (Virucidal), BS EN 1276 (Bactericidal), and BS EN 1650 (Fungicidal) standards.

Biochemical Mechanism of Action

Unlike traditional disinfectants that rely on systemic toxicity, EstormHOCl utilizes selective oxidation to achieve metabolic collapse in pathogens:

  • Lipid Peroxidation: Rapidly oxidizes microbial cell membranes, leading to loss of structural integrity.
  • Thiol Oxidation: Denatures essential proteins and enzymes by targeting disulfide bonds.
  • EPS Matrix Disruption: Penetrates the Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) to eradicate deep-seated biofilms.
  • ATP Inhibition: Arrests the mitochondrial-equivalent respiration in bacteria, preventing cellular replication.

Sector-Specific Clinical Use Cases

1. General Practice & Primary Care

  • Triage & Diagnostic Hardware: Non-corrosive decontamination of stethoscopes, otoscopes, and sphygmomanometers.
  • Surface Management: Rapid turnover of examination couches and high-traffic waiting areas without VOC accumulation.
  • Respiratory Safety: Ideal for clinics treating asthmatic or COPD patients due to its zero-irritant profile.

2. Dentistry & Oral Surgery

  • AGP Mitigation: Neutralization of Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs) to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Biofilm Control: Effective management of Dental Unit Water Lines (DUWLs) and suction systems.
  • Equipment Longevity: Safely decontaminates curing lights, sensors, and chair upholstery without degradation or “yellowing.”

3. Minor Surgery & Wound Care

  • Aseptic Field Maintenance: High-level sanitation of surgical trolleys and instrument trays.
  • Wound Bed Preparation: Safe for irrigation of chronic wounds; supports fibroblast migration and reduces microbial load without stinging or cytotoxicity.

 FAQ 

Is EstormHOCl safe for use on sensitive medical electronics?

Yes. Unlike bleach or hydrogen peroxide, EstormHOCl is non-corrosive at clinical concentrations, making it safe for touchscreens, ultrasound transducers, and diagnostic monitors.

 

No. Because it is non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin and lungs, EstormHOCl does not require the heavy PPE (respirators, specialized gloves) mandated by harsher chemicals.

 

Because HOCl destroys the physical structure of the cell through oxidation, pathogens (including MRSA and C. Diff) cannot develop a genetic resistance to the mechanism.

Healthcare Settings

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring oxidant produced endogenously by neutrophils during the oxidative burst, playing a critical role in the innate immune response. When applied exogenously in healthcare settings, Estorm HOCl demonstrates exceptional clinical utility due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, rapid onset of action, and favorable safety profile.

1. Clinical Relevance

Estorm HOCl is a non-cytotoxic, fast-acting biocide effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores making it ideal for infection control and microbiological decontamination in healthcare environments.

2. Mechanism of Action

HOCl exerts its antimicrobial effect through multiple oxidative pathways: Membrane disruption, oxidized phospholipids, compromising microbial cell integrity.

  • Protein denaturation: Targets thiol and amino groups, inactivating essential enzymes.
  • Nucleic acid degradation: Damages DNA and RNA, halting replication and transcription.
  • Biofilm penetration: Breaks down extracellular polymeric substances, exposing embedded pathogens.
These mechanisms result in rapid, irreversible microbial inactivation, including drug-resistant and biofilm-forming strains.

3. Advantages in Medical Settings

  • Biocompatible: Non-irritating to skin, eyes, and mucosa at therapeutic concentrations.
  • Non-corrosive: Safe for use on medical instruments, electronics, and sensitive surfaces.
  • Residue-free: No rinsing required; leaves no toxic byproducts.
  • Environmentally benign: Degrades into water and salt, supporting green hospital initiatives.

4. Clinical Applications

  • Surface disinfection in operating theatres, ICUs, isolation rooms, and high-touch zones.
  • Wound irrigation and post-operative site cleansing.
  • Hand hygiene and mucosal decontamination (e.g., nasal, ocular).
  • Biofilm disruption in catheters, endoscopes, and other medical devices.

5. Proven Efficacy Against Resistant Pathogens

Estorm HOCl has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo effectiveness against:

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
  • Clostridium difficile.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • Staphylococcus epidermidis in catheter-related infections.

6. Why Estorm HOCl Is a Hospital Essential

Hypochlorous acid is more than a disinfectant, it is a biological ally that mirrors the body’s own immune defences. It offers:

  • Broad-spectrum efficacy against clinically relevant pathogens.
  • Exceptional safety for patients and healthcare workers.
  • Environmental responsibility through non-toxic degradation.

This makes Estorm HOCl the ideal solution for modern hospitals prioritizing infection control, patient safety, and sustainable hygiene practices.

EStorm HOCl is: Made using an Article 95 - listed active substance source. Tested to BS EN 14476, EN 1276, and EN 13697 standards - Proven to kill 99.999% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi - Effective against SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, MRSA, and other airborne or contact-transmitted pathogens.
