| Abstract: |
| Mezma derm represent a very promising source for the development of antimicrobial agents. In addition, it is cost efficient, non-toxic, and most importantly, promotes wound healing, features that makes it suitable as a starting material for wound dressings. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Fighting bacterial resistance is one of the concerns in modern days, as antibiotics remain the main resource of bacterial control. Our membrane is a source of antibacterial agents. The advantage over conventional synthetic antibiotics is that it is in reach of general public and is highly effective. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| In 2018, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) stated that nearly 33,000 die every year as a consequence of an infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Our product is highly effective in preventing such infections and is highly cost effective. |
| How will the solution works |
| Wound healing is a complex process. In cases of severe
distortion of the tissue architecture, the healing process may
not lead to morphofunctional normality but result in the
formation of disoriented connective tissue with a fibrous
appearance. This abnormal tissue architecture reduces the
mechanical strength and leads to scar formation. Mezma will assist the proper physiological reconstruction of the skin
and reduce or prevent scar tissue formation. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Our main competitors are Gauze companies, that produce large amount of cheap wound dressings. But they are highly prone to bacterial infection that lead to scarring but Mezma is not only effective in controling bacterial growth but also speeds up the healing process leaving little or no scar tissue. |
