IothaFoam™ · Iodine-releasing foam dressing · Patent pending
Iodine designed to kill bacteria and heal the wound.
IothaFoam™ is the next-generation iodine foam dressing, designed by a surgeon. It is designed to release iodine in a narrow window for days: enough to control bacteria and biofilm, gentle on healing tissue.
The problem
Hard-to-heal wounds are a biofilm problem.
Most chronic wounds carry biofilm. Silver damages the cells that heal; weak iodine cannot clear it. Clinicians have been forced to choose.
The iodine window →
The foam holds the iodine. The film keeps the wound moist.
Iodine is designed to be released at a steady, low rate for days: intended to act on biofilm, below the level that harms healing tissue.

A dressing that reports on the wound.
Smart IothaFoam™ adds a thin sensing layer designed to read the iodine level, temperature, moisture and pH, so the care team can hear about a problem before it is visible.
