We are delighted to announce\nthat Nanordica has done extensive medical research and testing to develop a new\ngeneration wound dressing that will solve the problem of hundreds of millions\nof people every year. Nanordica is an alumnus of the Startup Incubator and we\nplan to continue working with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started from the Tehnopol Startup Incubator and the National Institute\nof Chemical Physics and Biological Physics, Nanordica Medical O\u00dc is an R&D company\nfounded by Estonian researchers with the aim to launch highly effective\nantibacterial wound dressings to the market comprising new nano-based advanced\nantibacterial technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wound infections are widespread and irreparable wounds lead to a significant decline in the patient\u2019s quality of life. The products currently in use are not effective enough in treating wound infections and this problem needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preclinical studies suggest that the wound patch\ndeveloped and patented by Nanordica is several times more efficient than\nproducts on the market and is effective against a wide array of microbes\n(including antibiotic-resistant strains such as\u00a0Staphylococcus\naureus<\/em>\u00a0MRSA). Next, in collaboration with the North-Estonian\nRegional Hospital a clinical study will be conducted to gain proof that\nNanordica Medical O\u00dc wound dressing is also effective for patients with poorly\nhealing infected wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wound infection is a presence of pathogenic bacteria in a wound\nthat causes a significant decline in a patient\u2019s quality of life. In\nparticularly severe cases, incurable wound infection can lead to the limb\namputation, of which approximately 12% is fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wound dressings manufactured by Nanordica Medical have\ndifferent layers and a skin contact layer with fibers comprising antibacterial nanoparticles.\nThe special feature of the product is the combination of fiber materials and\nnanoparticles. The required amount of antimicrobial agents is incorporated into\nthe fibers and, due to their special textile properties, a contact is made\nbetween the microbes and the nanoparticles. This technology helps to fight\nbacteria more efficiently than the previously known products. The materials of\nthe wound dressings developed by Nanordica Medical are environmentally friendly\nand breathable. Due to the processes of clinical trial and CE marking, a new\nNanordica wound dressing should be available in Europe and the US markets by\n2024 at the latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
