Innovative wound care products
Axio Biosolutions Private Limited, India (“Axio”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston-based Advamedica Inc., has developed hemostatic and advanced wound care products.
Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of death from traumatic injuries. One of Axio’s product Axiostat, a first-aid dressing made of 100 percent active Chitosan (a natural biopolymer), stops bleeding within just two to three minutes of application, thus saving lives.
Clinical data has shown that Axiostat provides superior patient outcomes in surgical, emergency, and military settings.
Another product MaxioCel, the ‘first-of-its kind’ wound care product, provides comfort and accelerates healing for patients suffering from chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, cavity wounds, skin abrasions, donor sites and post-operative surgical wounds.
With a colossal increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic wounds, the product holds immense promise to help improve the quality of life of millions
The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is in Ahmedabad, and is FDA, EU, and GMP-certified. Its products are used in India, Europe and 40+ other countries.
