SolasCure
Website: https://www.solascure.com/
SolasCure is developing Aurase Wound Gel (AWG), a novel enzymatic debrider designed to improve debridement and biofilm management in chronic wound care. AWG utilizes tarumase, an enzyme inspired by larval therapy, to offer effective, selective, and continuous debridement while protecting healthy tissue. By consistently clearing wounds of slough and biofilm, AWG fosters an optimal healing environment. Unlike conventional methods, AWG's safety profile supports 'maintenance' debridement to prevent the reoccurrence of slough and infection, making it a strong fit for current wound care protocols. This approach aims for faster healing, better patient outcomes, and potential cost savings for healthcare systems.

Vaporox
Website: https://vaporox.com/
Having received FDA 510(k) clearance for its patented VHT-200 wound healing medical device on March 23. 2023, Vaporox is marketing its Vaporous Hyperoxia Therapy (VHTÔ), a breakthrough technology for healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) to medical doctors and podiatrist in private practice.
Both clinical studies and commercial results show that Vaporox’s VHT-200 heals 85% of the DFUs that resist “the standard of care,” making it by far the best DFU treatment available. VHT gets comparable results in real world use as well.
The VHT-200 brings advanced wound care to private providers’ offices. It also greatly improves practice economics. With VHT treatments reimbursed by a Category 1 CPT code, adoption of VHT will typically improve a provider’s DFU healing efficacy by 2x to 3x while increasing their per-patient revenues by 5x to 6x, while allowing them to provide Advanced Wound Care, in their practice.
Delivering a VHT treatment requires only about 10 minutes of a med tech’s time. The device is nearly maintenance free, and the continuously reports its status via IoT, allowing proactive field support.
Vaporox’s “pay-per-treatment” sales model enables provider adoption with no up-front cost or risk. This produces recurring revenue for the company while shortening sales cycles and minimizing sales and marketing costs.
VHT treatment of all newly-occurring U.S. DFUs would require about 22,000 VHT-200s and yield Vaporox revenues of about $1.6 billion/year, with very high margins.
