Transforming chronic wound care with a breakthrough wound therapeutic

About us

Chronic wounds affect ~100m people around the world, impacting quality of life & placing a huge burden on health systems. Despite the many innovations in wound care over the years, chronic wound healing rates have barely improved. Change is needed – patients, practitioners, and regulators across the industry are in urgent need of high-impact innovations in chronic wound care. SolasCure is at the forefront of addressing this demand, aiming to shift the current treatment paradigm with a high impact therapeutic approach to debridement, with the goal of enabling dramatic improvements in healing rates and patients’ quality of life. Aurase Wound Gel aims to address the huge unmet need for easy & effective debridement to return wounds to healing. It combines the enzyme Tarumase with hydrogel to debride wounds, reduce biofilm & promote healing. Tarumase is a highly-specific fibrinolytic enzyme cloned from maggot saliva, perfectly optimised by evolution for wound bed preparation. After successful Phase IIa trials, SolasCure is preparing for the next phase of clinical development to bring Aurase Wound Gel one step closer to improving the lives of millions of patients suffering from chronic wounds.

    𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 is a new blog series by members of our senior leadership team. Leveraging decades of industry experience, each will outline how they and SolasCure are working to make a real difference in the treatment of chronic wounds. The series will explore a wide range of topics across wound care, from the technology and history behind our enzyme-containing hydrogel to the current challenges faced by clinicians, nurses and most importantly, patients. Kicking off the series is CEO, Lee Harle, in his blog "Why the Battle Against Chronic Wounds is Worth Fighting". Chronic wounds are common, painful and costly - significantly impacting patients’ lives. Yet despite advances in technology, chronic wound healing rates remain largely unchanged over recent decades. In this thought-provoking opener, Lee explores the factors that have hindered innovation and progress in wound care and outlines the challenges which he and the team at SolasCure are committed to tackling.

    November has been a busy month for our team, from announcing an exciting US military collaboration to attending conferences across the UK and Europe. 🗨️Our Chairman of the Board, Andy Weymann, shares his takeaways from one of this month’s highlights, #BioEurope 2024: “Events like BIO Europe are invaluable for connecting with industry leaders, and the partneringOne platform proved especially helpful in navigating over 5,500 attendees. The event was impressively organised, meeting opportunities were plenty available and many service providers were there. The keynotes from seasoned dealmakers, including company representatives and venture capitalists, provided particularly insightful perspectives.” #ChronicWounds #Innovation

    📢News update We are thrilled to announce a research collaboration with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research to evaluate our investigational product, Aurase Wound Gel, for managing combat wounds. Aurase Wound Gel is a hydrogel releasing tarumase, a recombinant enzyme derived from medical maggots. Two non-clinical projects will examine its enzymatic debridement potential to reduce wound biofilm and bioburden in prolonged field care scenarios, specifically targeting combat-relevant persistent strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA. Both pathogens complicate wound care by producing toxins and enzymes that damage tissue. Read the full press release here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eVvb59hu #WoundCare #Hydrogel #ChronicInfections #Biofilm
