RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel
The company is developing the RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel wound treatment for use in the management of complex and slow healing wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores.
Autologous biological therapies, such as the proprietary RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel, concentrate the cells that allow the body to heal itself and kick-start the patient’s own healing processes.
The RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel is made up of concentrated platelets derived from the patient’s own blood, which are activated by autologous thrombin to release healing growth factors, cell signalling molecules, and proteins that work at a cellular level.
Our RAPID™ Biodynamic Haematogel wound care treatment has been defined by the MHRA as the first-in-world, first-in-class point of care wound care treatment, classified as a medicine.
