Purgo Pouch is a breakthrough medical device that will deliver controlled local antibiotics. The promise of controlled local drug delivery without systemic side effects and toxicity is transformative for the treatment and prevention of deep infection. I look forward to using it in my practice.

“Surgical site infection is disastrous in orthopedic practice as it is difficult to rid the bone and joint of the infection.”

“When encased in biofilms in the human body, bacteria are a thousand times less susceptible to antibiotics.”

“The global impact of surgical site infections is monumental and as many as 80% of these infections may involve a microbial biofilm.”

The Purgo Pouch stands as a groundbreaking tool in localized antibiotic delivery, addressing deep infection treatment, prevention, and advancing the current surgical infection management. This level of control over drug delivery is a game-changer, and I am excited to see its impact in my clinical work.
