Electrospinning may sound like something to do with disco music, workouts or pop art. Actually, it’s an electrostatically charged method to produce nanofibers for items such as layered filters.
The Israeli startup Nanomedic is using this technology to revolutionize wound care.
Nanomedic’s Spincare device – resembling a large staple gun – charges up a proprietary polymer from a disposable ampule and sprays it directly on the wound as a protective, flexible second skin.
“Wherever the patient is, we can print our electrospun healing fiber matrix directly on the wound. That has a lot of advantages to enhance the healing process,” says Nanomedic CEO Chen Barak, who has a PhD in biomedical engineering and years of experience in electrospinning technology.
