The group's principal activities are to provide advanced wound and skin care products. The group operates in three product lines; chronic wound care, wound closure and fasteners and personal skin care. Chronic wound care involves cleaning the wound, controlling infection with antibiotics and protecting the wound. Wound closures strips and fasteners eliminate the need for sutures on the surface of many surgical wounds, decrease the incidence of scarring and infection, promote wound healing, reduce traction blisters at wound site and also provide excellent adherence, optimum surgical wound security and protection from irritation and skin shearing. Personal skin care products are designed to enable customers implement and maintain successful skin care/hygiene programs.
