JellyBand has developed a cutting-edge wound dressing material applicable for fast and effective chronic wound healing. The wound dressing is composed of composite jellyfish nanofibers (that contain collagen and mucin) and nanoparticles of antibacterial silver, which exhibit all requisite qualities for fast and complete wound healing.
preclinical wound healing tests on pigs demonstrated full and fast recovery that were found to be superior to a leading commercial product. The use of JellyBand was found to reduce the healing period by 25% and to save more than 25% of the treatment expenses.
Notably, the material developed contains considerable amounts of collagen, highly needed material in cosmetics and artificial skin. Currently, the team is developing materials for these applications.
The technology is protected by 4 patents (both granted and pending) and is licensed to JellyBand by Tel Aviv University.
