Are you living with a wound and would like to share your story?

Posted on

Our in-house Research & Development Department work very hard in the lab developing new products but we are keen to talk to people currently living with a wound to help us gain a better understanding of your daily wound care.

Perhaps you have fistula or an opening in your skin that creates enough output to require a bag to collect or multiple daily dressing changes. Maybe you are under the care of a community nursing team that help you with your wound, or maybe you are skilled at managing it yourself.

It is our hope that with your help we may be able to develop products in the future to improve the quality of life of people living with a wound.

If you, or someone you know, has a wound and are interested in helping us by providing their story, then please contact us by email at [email protected] for more information.

When you contact us, we will be discreet and anything you tell us will remain completely confidential.

We will not use your personal information for sales, marketing or any promotions and we will not share your personal information with anyone else.
