Amferia has invented a new antimicrobial hydrogel that targets, binds, and rapidly kills up to 99.99% of bacteria upon contact. The hydrogel consists of amphiphilic antibacterial polymers mimicking the immune system. Because the hydrogel binds those polymers in place, nothing is released into the wound, making the dressing safe for the body. 

Amferia is producing a veterinary antimicrobial hydrogel wound dressing, available for order now.

Appropriate for acute and low exuding wounds—such as post-surgical incisions—this product can be used as a free-standing hydrogel pad supported on the wound by a secondary dressing, or as a fully adhesive dressing.

Meant exclusively for veterinary in-clinic use, in places such as surgical care units or in-patient care, all products are supplied sterile and will include instructions for use.

Our free-standing hydrogel dressing is currently available for purchase in three standard sizes. The pad is non-adhesive sheet of hydrogel that can be applied directly to a wound bed.

The dressing is non-adhesive to wounds and requires secondary surgical-grade dressing to hold it in place, which Amferia will provide with shipment. Alternatively, customers can use a secondary dressing of their choice. We may also be able to provide custom sizes of the hydrogel pad upon request.

Amferia's adhesive hydrogel dressing will be available for purchase in 2023. At present, we offer the adhesive dressings on a trial basis for case feedback on dry to low exuding wounds. We are interested in collaborating with clinics that wish to try the products or discuss clinical investigations.

Amferia has collaborated with five leading veterinary clinics across Europe and obtained over 100 case reports on a variety of post-surgical wounds of cats and dogs.

‍

In each case, Amferia’s hydrogel dressing enabled safe healing of wounds with no complications. Furthermore, the product could be adapted easily to the complex contours of the animals' bodies and adjusted to the required sizes.

The surgeons who used the dressings have provided excellent feedback on the usability, safety and existing evidence of antimicrobial efficacy.

Clinical case reports involving Amferia hydrogel dressings have been performed on infected chronic wounds in collaboration with two clinics in Germany and the Netherlands.

Together with Amferia, the clinics have performed five case evaluations of the Amferia hydrogel dressing in hard-to-heal infected wounds of one dog and four cats, all colonized with multi-resistant pseudomonas aeuruginosa or MRSA bacteria. 

All wounds were open wounds from either trauma or chronic complications, and the patients suffered from recurring wound complications over a period of two to three months. The attending wound specialist requested Amferia dressing for trials on the patients and noted a clear effect within 24 hours, noting bio-burden reduction and formulation of new granulation tissue.

Amferia collaborated on an in-vivo infection model study with Chalmers University and the Department of Biomaterials at Sahlgrenska University. 

The study results, published in ACS Biomaterials Science, describe a wound model in mice heavily infected with bacteria. The results demonstrated 100 times reduction of bacterial load in the wounds treated with the amphiphilic antimicrobial hydrogel.  

This is especially impressive, given that the wound was deep and the bacterial load was extremely high. The results demonstrated the strong effect the hydrogel had on bacterial removal, from the wound in a statistically significant manner, without releasing any substances into the body.
