Medical device company developing a therapeutic bandage

Overview

The client developed a novel bandage demonstrating high efficacy in treating skin tumors in animal studies.

Challenge

The project required a high loading of ceramic nanoparticles be incorporated directly into the nanofibers at the time of electrospinning. The manufacturing process needed to be translated from lab prototype scale to a continuous, commercial-ready scale.

Solution

Materic developed multiple solutions:

  • A new, large-batch synthesis of the ceramic nanoparticle material
  • A needleless electrospinning process capable of incorporating up to 50 wt% nanoparticles into the nanofiber
  • A novel packaging system to eliminate nanoparticle loss during subsequent processing and application of the bandage

Outcome

  • A bandage with equivalent efficacy to lab prototypes
  • A scalable manufacturing process
  • Process and performance data sufficient for FDA 510(k) filing
