Wound
Care

Cutest have many years of experience of assessing the performance of wound care, stoma care and other similar medical devices for leading companies in studies such as:

• Dressing adhesion and wear testing.
• Peel force measurements on skin.
• Performance of topical barrier creams to prevent skin contact from fluids.
• Impact of fluids on dressing performance
• Skin irritation testing

These tests help us evaluate if wound care products cause any adverse reactions or harm to the surrounding tissue. This involves testing for irritation and sensitization.

Micro-biopsies are a leading-edge innovation allowing measurements of gene and protein expression. We are able to target specific areas and retrieve a collection of skin cells in a minimally invasive way. These help us see if a product actually works as we can see if there is a change in gene expression. Micro-biopsies allow us to perform in-depth analysis of the skin.

We can integrate this into standard clinical studies to measure the benefits of actives or product formulations.
