General information

Short Summary
An Italian company developed a groundbreaking medical dressing to optimize wound healing and patient comfort. This innovative wound spacer-shield ensures a sterile environment, promotes rapid healing, and reduces pain during dressing changes. The technology is now available for partnership opportunities to further develop and commercialize this solution. Potential partners could also contribute to clinical testing and regulatory approval processes.
Full Description
An Italian company developed a new wound spacer-shield, made from hypoallergenic medical-grade TPE, offers a unique approach to wound care. The device is a pierced, cup-shaped shield designed to create a protective and sterile environment around the wound. This helps in promoting natural drying and rapid healing. The modular design allows for sections to be removed, fitting various wound sizes and types, including cuts, scrapes, surgical wounds, and burns.
Conventional dressings often stick to wounds, causing pain and disrupting the healing process. This spacer-shield eliminates such issues by preventing direct contact between the wound and the dressing. It allows for adequate ventilation, reduces the risk of infection, and facilitates easy access for applying creams and ointments.
The company is looking for partner to facilitate the commercialization of product.
Potential partners could also contribute to clinical testing and regulatory approval processes.
We are also open to potential investors in order to foster the development of StartUp.
