By focusing on patient-first solutions, we offer cutting-edge technologies that bring value to all stakeholders.
Our Why
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and one of the most complicated. The skin has many roles in maintaining quality of life and health, but it is also vulnerable when breached or compromised.
A 2020 NIH publication reported, that the cost of caring for chronic wounds in the US alone exceeds $50 billion annually and is greater than the five most costly forms of cancer
One type of chronic wound, diabetic foot ulcers, results in someone losing a limb every 20 seconds.
- Zivot Limb Preservation Centre
Dr. David Armstrong, a key opinion leader in diabetic foot ulcers, stated that nearly 70% of individuals who undergo a lower limb amputation will pass away within the next 5 years; this mortality rate is second to lung cancer.
It's statistics like these that drive our team to commercialize solutions to actively facilitate healing, reduce inflammation, and provide broad-spectrum infection protection. These attributes extend our potential impact beyond chronic wounds to acute and minor wounds, burns, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and skin tears, among other dermatological challenges.
NANOKARE is a novel nano-structured material that is designed to effectively reduce the thresholds needed to achieve optimal healing outcomes, modulate healthy inflammation, and provide safe and effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial and biofilm protection. When deployed in an easy to apply and manage matrix gel, NANOKARE enables the power of our product NANOSALV Catalytic Advanced Wound Care Treatment Matrix.
NANOSALV Catalytic Advanced Wound Care Treatment Matrix is a Health Canada approved Class II medical device indicated for the management and treatment of acute and chronic wounds, such as:
