Projectdetails

Introduction

External medical devices, such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, or wearable electronic devices, require the use of medical adhesives for their attachment to the skin. However, prolonged use of current medical adhesives is associated with serious adverse skin reactions, known as MARSI (Medical Adhesives-Related Skin Injuries).

Problem Statement

This underreported issue is prevalent in 25% of wound care cases and is associated with enormous health care and economic burdens.

Solution Overview

BH4U aims to address this challenge with Bio2Skin. Bio2Skin is a patented revolutionary glueless medical adhesive that uses the natural features of the skin to establish a water-based link and overcomes the disadvantages of acrylic/silicone adhesives.

Product Features

  • Bio-based
  • Cost-effective
  • Recyclable solution
  • Gentle, safe adhesion
  • Kind removal

Market Potential

The product has a potential market value of over 250M EUR by 2030 and will be sold under license to medical adhesive manufacturers and external medical device manufacturers.
