SilkMed
SilkMed provides a spray-applied silk fibroin wound care platform that forms a conformal, transparent protective film directly on the wound surface. The self-assembling silk matrix is engineered to degrade in sync with natural tissue healing while supporting moisture management and localized therapeutic delivery. The portable spray device enables application to complex anatomies and irregular wound geometries.

Product
Problem
Conventional wound dressings often fail to conform to complex or irregular wound geometries, limiting their effectiveness in supporting optimal healing. Many advanced wound care products also lack the ability to deliver therapeutics locally or degrade in sync with the natural tissue repair process, leading to disruptive dressing changes and suboptimal outcomes.
Solution
SilkMed provides a spray-applied silk-based wound care platform that leverages silk fibroin, a biocompatible protein with low immunogenicity and established safety in biomedical applications. The product is applied directly to the wound surface through a portable spray device, where it self-assembles into a thin, conformal, optically transparent protective film. This silk matrix supports a favorable healing environment through appropriate moisture management while its engineered degradation profile aligns with natural tissue healing, reducing the need for disruptive interventions. The silk architecture also serves as a platform for localized therapeutic delivery, enabling controlled release of active agents directly at the wound site.
Target Audience
Primary customers are clinicians and researchers in wound care and regenerative medicine seeking advanced biomaterial-based dressings for complex or hard-to-heal wounds.
