Prometheus is an innovative start-up that proposes Ematik, an innovative patented system consisting of a machine and a disposable kit, for the creation of an autologous and customised medicament for veterinary use, in particular for the treatment of hard-to-heal skin wounds. In less than 50 minutes, the Ematik system allows the veterinarian to develop a tailor-made medicament by combining the patient’s blood with the biopolymer mixture supplied with the disposable kit. Ematik, which can be used on animals of all sizes, is capable of accelerating and improving the healing of hard-to-heal skin wounds. The technological innovation, demonstrated by the results obtained from various clinical tests conducted on animals with chronic wounds, is given by:
– Healing times halved compared to competing products;
– Autologous personalised medicament (obtained from the patient’s own blood) and with no side effects;
– Allows the reappearance of the animal’s original fur without scarring (important aspect in high value animals);
– Antibacterial properties: reduces the risk of infection in the injured area and allows the use of antimicrobial/antibiotic substances to be reduced;
– Easy to apply and bio-absorbable from the wound;
– Fully automated and fast: Ematik, starting with the loading of the patient’s blood into the machine, allows the production of an autologous and customised medicament in just 50 minutes.
