I have not seen any good clinical outcome data on these. I waited til I heard Dr. Maki's data on Biopatch before we considered using Biopatch at our insitution. To see efficacy on any antimicrobial product, you really need a large number, eg, 1,000 patients or more to see a statistically significant effect. Look carefully...
