Advanced Woundcare
AMS provides a full range of advanced woundcare products for sale in hospital, nursing home and community care markets. The main indications are for chronic wounds such as ulcers and pressure sores.
These products pioneer the concept of moist wound healing to allow wounds to heal faster and with less pain and scarring if they remain moist. They protect the wound, deal with tissue fluids and provide an optimal environment for healing to occur.
Wound Closure and Sealants
Our products based on cyanoacrylate adhesive technology developed for medical applications.
Tissue adhesives offer significant benefits over conventional ways of closing wounds following trauma or surgical incision. They are simple to use, non-invasive, help to reduce the risk of infection, minimise trauma to the patient and provide good clinical and cosmetic outcomes.
The technology is also ideally suited to protecting skin from breakdown or for use as a skin sealant to help prevent infection of surgical sites.
