Annals of vascular surgery, 44, 387-392. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2017.03.198

© 2017 Elsevier Inc. Background Dressings coated with dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC) are highly hydrophobic and irreversibly bind multiple types of bacteria, trapping them in the dressing and reducing the number of organisms at the wound surface. W... Read More about Dialkylcarbamoyl Chloride Dressings in the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections after Nonimplant Vascular Surgery.

Quality of life in patients with intermittent claudication (2017)
