Our products can be broken down into five categories: Advanced Wound Care, Traditional Wound Care, Burn Care, Skin Care and Bathing, and Specialty Securement and Closure Devices.

Our company was founded in 1984, developing one of the key original advanced wound care products, Dermagran .

Derma Sciences~ goal is to be known as an innovator in this field, bringing products to market that advance wound care by promoting new technologies, empowering caregivers, and focusing on the unmet needs of patients. An example of this is our line of Active Manuka (Leptospermum) Honey dressings, MEDIHONEY? , which we will launch in October 2007. MEDIHONEY? is the first honey-based product cleared for use by Health Canada and also the first cleared for use by the FDA. These unique dressings contain Active Manuka...
