Why Oxygen

Oxygen has been shown in scientific studies to be beneficial in promoting healing and reducing infection. OxyBand Technologies™ has developed patented technology that delivers the therapeutic value of oxygen to accelerate wound healing and fight infection.

Testing with Oxy-Band™ wound dressings demonstrated significantly faster healing, less pain, less exudate, reduced redness and initial scarring on standardized laser burn wounds compared to control dressings. Additional studies have begun to further demonstrate the efficacy of Oxy-Band™ on other types of wounds at a major academic medical institution.

The Benefits of Oxygen

Scientific studies have demonstrated the therapeutic benefits of Oxygen for wound healing, including:

• Increasing epithelialization and collagen production, reducing the time to heal
• Increasing healing rates
• Helping wounds fight infection, including anti-microbial resistant organisms
  • kills anaerobic species
  • bacteriostatic for many aerobic species
  • potentiates antibiotics that require active transport into the bacteria
  • stops production of enzymes that help infections spread such as leucitinase (clostridia) and streptolysin O (strep A)
  • reduces the toxic effects of infections such as clostridial myonecrosis
  • post-antibiotic effect delays bacterial ability to grow again after the use of antibiotics
  • oxidative bacterial killing by the neutrophils and macrophages
• is synergistic with other therapies such as growth factors therapy
• is required for multiple cell functions in wound healing
• helps wounds kill antibiotic resistant organisms

Innovation in Applications

Oxy-Band™ wound dressing is an innovative oxygen delivery technology in a traditional wound dressing that acts like a transdermal patch targeting oxygen delivery into the wound for faster healing.

OxyBand Technologies™ is the first company to package pure oxygen into a discrete wound dressing using its directionally permeable gas-emitting reservoir. An expansive development program is underway to demonstrate superior efficacy in numerous applications.

Designs for Healing

OxyBand Technologies™ is developing therapeutic oxygen delivery technology that provides continuous oxygen to a wound site, is easy to use, provides options for hybrid product and is cost-effective for medical and consumer markets.

This is the beginning of a line of healing technologies that will be developed by OxyBand Technologies™ that rely on targeted delivery of therapeutic gases through established clinical designs.
