Inventor: Tewodros Asefa

Awarded: September 2019

Summary:

In this project, our team aims to develop novel, cost-effective, sprayable antimicrobial formulations and wound dressing products that can prevent biofilm formation for chronic wound care. The products will also become the potential alternative to antibiotic treatment, thus reducing antibiotic resistance. The proposed advanced wound care products are expected to have a major impact on global health and alleviate the health care cost, especially associated with the increase of aging population and a sharp rise in obesity-related diseases worldwide.

Market applications:

• Sprayable wound dressing products
• Over-the-counter wound care
• Advanced wound dressing for chronic wounds
• Interdigital wound dressings for cattle industry
