Virbac Epiotic SIS Ear Cleanser 125ml

Virbac Epiotic SIS Ear Cleanser 125ml.

Product Overview

Epiotic SIS is a micellar solution developed by Virbac for the routine cleaning of ears in dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens . It is designed to be well-tolerated even in inflamed ears, as its acidity matches that of the skin of dogs and cats . The solution can be used for regular ear hygiene maintenance or prior to the administration of other ear medications .

Key Features and Benefits

Gentle and Effective Cleaning
Epiotic SIS is formulated with mild cleansing bases that effectively remove cellular debris and excess earwax . It contains salicylic acid combined with docusate sodium to help dry the ear canal while clearing out debris . The solution also neutralizes unpleasant odors .

S-I-S Technology (Skin Innovative Science)
The product incorporates Virbac's advanced S-I-S technology, which works on two levels to improve ear canal vitality :

• Glycotechnology: A combination of monosaccharides (rhamnose, galactose, mannose) that reduces the adherence of bacteria and yeasts to the ear canal wall . Without attachment, microorganisms cannot multiply and cause or worsen ear infections, and they become more susceptible to being flushed out by the cleanser .

• Defensin Technology: Features two plant extracts (Peumus boldus leaf extract and Spiraea ulmaria extract) that stimulate the skin's natural production of antimicrobial peptides, supporting the skin's natural defenses .

Microbial Balance
The inclusion of PCMX and EDTA works together to help restore and maintain the microbial balance of the ear canal . This combination also improves the external ear canal's microbial equilibrium .

pH Neutral and Alcohol-Free
Epiotic SIS has a neutral pH (pH 7), making it one of the only neutral, drying ear cleaners on the market that is non-irritating and promotes ear canal dryness after use . It is alcohol-free and low-irritant, making it suitable for regular use .
