Problem
Chronic wounds, burns, surgical incisions, and skin ulcers often experience delayed healing, increased risk of infection, and excessive scarring, leading to prolonged patient discomfort and potential complications.

Solution
Fibroheal Woundcare develops and markets a range of silk protein-based biomaterials designed for active and advanced wound care management. Their products leverage the unique properties of silk proteins to promote faster and more effective wound healing across various wound types. The product line includes solutions for tissue debridement, infection and inflammation control, moisture balance, re-epithelialization, and scar management. Fibroheal's offerings include dressings, gels, sprays, and ointments, some incorporating silver nanoparticles for enhanced antimicrobial action.
