A Purpose-Driven Beginning
NanoTess was founded with a clear purpose. Many of our team members have been personally impacted by the problems we aim to solve. One of NanoTess’ founders lost both parents to chronic conditions, simultaneously experiencing a lack of access to affordable care. Their experiences reflected a global issue: millions of families are forced to choose between health and finances.
The World Health Organization reports that half of the global population lacks access to essential health services, and 100 million people are pushed into poverty each year due to healthcare costs. For us at NanoTess, these are not just numbers. They are the reason we exist.
A Mission for Better Access
NanoTess is a social enterprise aiming to change the reality of access to effective healthcare technologies.
We focus on patient-first innovations that bring value to everyone—patients, providers, and communities. Starting with wound care and skin health, we work to remove barriers that stand between people and healing.
The science is provenThe mission is personal
Our team brings over 60+ years of combined experience in material science. This expertise contributed to the development of our catalytic materials, designed to solve real health challenges.
Our impact continues to expand. With every solution developed, we aim to improve care, reduce costs, and enable healing for more people.
Real People. Real Stories. Real Results.
From the communities we serve, to the systems we support, to the lives we change.
