Question 1

What is Factor™?

Accepted Answer

Factor™ is Five Peaks Global’s advanced wound hydrogel designed to maintain a moist wound environment while helping address biofilm. Its thermoreversible formulation conforms closely to the wound bed, including irregular surfaces and wound tunnels.

Question 2

How does Factor™ work?

Accepted Answer

Factor™ forms a protective hydrogel that helps maintain a moist wound environment while proprietary polymers help break down and remove biofilm from the wound bed and inhibit new biofilm formation. BioBlock® Technology is designed to help manage microbial burden without relying on antibiotics.

Question 3

Does Factor™ contain antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

No. Factor™ does not rely on traditional antibiotics as part of its wound-management approach. Its formulation combines a proprietary polymer system with antimicrobial components designed to support management of the wound environment.

Question 4

How is Factor™ different from traditional hydrogels?

Accepted Answer

Like traditional hydrogels, Factor™ helps maintain a moist wound environment. Factor™ also incorporates proprietary BioBlock® Technology designed to address biofilm and uses a thermoreversible formulation that changes viscosity with temperature, allowing the gel to conform closely to the wound bed and irregular wound spaces.

Question 5

Does Factor™ require refrigeration?

Accepted Answer

No. Factor™ does not require refrigeration and should be stored according to its Instructions for Use. Its thermoreversible formulation becomes less viscous when cooler and thickens as it approaches body temperature, helping it conform to the wound bed.

Question 6

Where is Factor™ manufactured?

Accepted Answer

Factor™ is manufactured in the United States in facilities operating under applicable quality standards.
