Innovative Solutions

Enabling a better quality of life for humanity through innovative medtech solutions

NuTissu

What we do

We are developing E-Plasters® to help “re-boot” the body’s natural bioelectric current to promote tissue healing/regeneration.

Our E-Plaster® digital platform with IoT connects patients and providers to improve productivity and quality of life.

Our proprietary catalogue of materials, BiomimInks™ enables us to offer bespoke solutions to repair/ rejuvenate a range of tissue types, as well as enable leading life-sciences research to explore cell/tissue behaviour in 3D biomimetic environment.

Chronic Wound Problem

Our Approach

Our approach to tackle wounds, informed by deep clinical insight uniquely combines three scientific and technology advancements:

Biomaterials

NuTissu’s unique portfolio of photopolymers, BiomimInks® and biomaterials-based technology present a range of properties to completely and rapidly heal wounds, that include antimicrobial defence, skin epithelialisation, and crucially, enable the delivery of electrical-stimulation therapy with digital-health technologies through everyday consumer electronics.

Microelectronics

Externally applied electric currents in wounded/damaged tissue can mimic the endogenous currents which facilitate wound healing. Our product, E-Plaster® with bioelectric stimulation aims to mimic this natural current of injury.

Digital Health Technology

We are leveraging on IoT and digital health technologies to enable the solutions to be patient centric with the E-Plaster® App as well as enable our biomaterials to mimic optimal physiological functions with 3D printing.
