Problem
Chronic wounds present significant challenges due to prolonged healing times, recurrent infections, and substantial pain, leading to frequent medical visits and poor clinical outcomes. Current wound care methods can be painful during dressing application and may not be suitable for all wound scenarios.
Solution
Corryn Biotechnologies offers the HEALS device, a handheld applicator employing electrospinning technology to create a breathable, biodegradable mesh that mimics the natural extracellular matrix for complex wound care. This contactless approach reduces pain during dressing application and allows for tailored material selection at the point of care, ensuring suitability for each wound. The HEALS applicator deposits advanced materials directly onto wounds in a single step, without contacting the patient or dressing material. The advanced materials used in the device improve infection resistance, breathability, and conformity, even over large area wounds.
Target Audience
The primary users are healthcare professionals involved in chronic and complex wound care, including those treating patients with diabetes, pressure sores, and venous leg ulcers.
