Wound Care Product Analysis
Expertise and technology to assist companies in the wound care product sector, at all stages in product development, approval and manufacturing.
Advanced wound care is an area which is seeing rapid expansion as the industry moves towards active wound care products and dressings with specific properties such as:
- Antimicrobial action (silver or broad spectrum biocides)
- Moist products (alginates)
- Oxygen concentration
- Odour control
- Exudate absorption
The development and characterisation of these products is a significant challenge for companies involved in this field due to the overlap of the areas of fabric technology, chemical analysis, microscopy and physical characterisation in addition to the clinical development. Using a broad range of analytical technologies such as electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical analysis methods tailored to a particular application allows Intertek to provide a one stop shop for complete analysis of wound care products and dressings.
