Collagen is available today in thousands of different products from skin creams to synthetic skin substitutes. It has been used safely and economically for many years in the health care field and is relatively easy to obtain today.
Medira is delighted to have a collagen biomaterial derived from a Piscean source. A little known fact is that the amino acids hydroxyproline and proline, present in human Type I collagen, are also present in the Piscean Type I collagen molecule.
Medira’s Piscean collagen dressings are highly biocompatible and immunogenic, removing all risk associated with bovine collagen (Pati et al 2012)
A recently published paper provides the first scientific evidence from a pre-clinical setting using a porcine model, to explain how a Type I collagen dressing may improve wound closure by targeting multiple key mechanisms. (Elgharably 2013)
Cell receptors on the triple helix collagen molecule provide a scaffold for cellular attachment eg fibroblasts
Medira’s unique range of Type I wound dressings have been listed on the 2013/2014 NHS High Impact Innovation catalogue, linked to the DOH Health, Wealth and Innovation Programme.
MEDIRA SPECIALISES IN REGENERATIVE BIOMATERIALS
Welcome to Medira Ltd, the company that specialises in a unique range of biomaterials.
Medira specialises in natural biomaterials to aid tissue regeneration.
Our goal is to always provide best-of-breed products with support to the industry to ensure their correct use. The result is that wounds heal quicker and costs are saved through reduction in numbers of dressings and the nursing attendance time. We source products globally and review the research before promoting their application. We also aim to perform scientific trials in conjunction with health care professionals where the results would be useful to the medical profession.
Formed in 2008 as a consultancy, morphing into major biomaterials supplier, our team has extensive knowledge of wound-care and a clear understanding of the application of our products. From our head-office in Cambridge we can support the large-scale supplier and the smaller user.
We aim to work through resellers as the most cost-effective route, but do offer an online store for some products.
