The founder of KeriCure is PhD organic chemist who founded the firm - KeriCure Inc - after being personally affected by inadequate wound care when her husbands small cut resulted in a serious MRSA (resistant Staph) infection that required surgery to treat. With her husband having almost lost the use of his hand from a simple cut, the effort became to create an effective wound care solution that - without using harsh chemicals and solvents - protects against germs and ultimately enhances the natural healing process. Principals of the firm tackled the development of a range of soothing, sting-free and breathable wound care products ideal for use both by professional medical staff as well as by those at home as an enhancement to healing and to prevent infections. The effort organzied around optimizing technology on which the Founder had worked in graduate school as part of an effort to develop the 'perfect" wound-care product safe for usevby/on anyone -- to include those with skin sensitivities and allergies to traditional bandages and wound dressings. Outcome: KeriCures Advanced skin and wound care product line (others in the works), designed specifically to mimic the natural elasticity and barrier properties of the skin providing a comfortable barrier that allows the body to move and heal naturally.
