Important results from the project
Through Vinnova´s grant, the project has resulted in: - A clinically verified and CE marked bandage, suitable for the self-care market and general compression therapy - An optimised production - Established contacts with potential customers, distributors and business partners - A plan for commercialization through three segments: medicn, sports and veterinary.
Expected long term effects
Our bandage guides the user in the application to deliver a more precise and even pressure of the bandage. It will also provide the opportunity to let someone with less experience to make the application without risking the patient´s health. The exclusivity of our bandages lies in the combination of our unique material with a visual guidance system on the bandage. A faster healing process, i.e shorter sick leave, providing both enhanced quality of life for the patient and economic benefits from an economic perspective.
