A dressing that reports on the wound.
IothaFoam™ with a thin sensing layer added. It reads temperature, moisture and pH under the dressing, so the care team can check on a wound with a phone instead of lifting the dressing to look.
One added layer.
IothaFoam™ is a breathable film laminated to iodinated foam. Smart IothaFoam™ adds one layer between them: a flexible sensor layer with a low-power chip that a phone reads with a tap. The foam, the iodine and the way the dressing is applied stay the same.
Three readings, where they matter.
Each sensing node measures temperature, moisture and pH just above the wound bed. The open-cell foam carries exudate up to the sensors, so readings reflect what is happening in the wound.
The data informs. The clinician decides.
A phone reads the dressing in seconds and syncs securely to a clinician view. Over time, readings are linked to outcomes so the software can flag early signs of infection. Every decision stays with the care team.
