wound dressings
Improvement on existing wound dressings
The membrane is biologically, mechanical and physically superior than existing medical wound dressings.
Ethical and culturally acceptable
Existing wound dressings are often derived from humans, pigs or cows. ReOvum bandages avoids the issue of ethical, cultural and religious constraints as well as minimising disease transmission.
Sustainability and ease of use
The ReOvum membrane is a low cost, simple to use, and biodegradable material that offers appropriate biomedical benefits while ensuring environmental consideration.
Modification capabilities
The ReOvum dressing can be further modified and fine-tuned to suit specific applications: incorporation of drugs/growth factors/antibiotics as well as being customised in terms of size/shape/thickness.
