Why we need to exist in todays world!

Today, if one suffers a severe burn or a chronic wound, the speed at which they heal is dictated by their wallet. The best regenerative treatments are made from expensive, imported materials, forcing doctors to use slow, basic bandages for most patients.

That means healing is available, just not accessible till the last person standing.

Many advance systems that create skin grafts, tissue models, healing patches utilize structurally sensitive material inputs that are derived from tissues such as rat tails. The traditional processes have served their purpose well till now, but do not push for industrial scaling.

Awareness about bandages or even band-aids is already scaled till the last mile. The question remains how do we encourage the regenerative medicine to similarly reach till the last person.

Let me share a very recent experience on why I am saying this:

When I was at a general store near my university in Goa, a sanitation worker comes and buys a band-aid, the store owner playfully teases her saying, "Why do you need a band-aid? The wound heals by itself. Her awareness about just a bandage made me surprise, she stated the benefits of covering up the wound and importance of a band-aid.

Lower Healthcare Costs Over Time

When we say that biological manufacturing becomes inefficient, costs increase across the entire healthcare system. What we deliver is that, it becomes difficult for the biomanufacturers to keep a track of QC and batch reproducibility throughout, forcing them to stay in the supply-on-demand model.

Improving production stability means:

• Less batch failure

• Reduced waste

• Faster manufacturing

• Better scalability

Over time, this can help make advanced healthcare technologies more affordable and accessible.

In the near future, diabetic patients or individuals with injuries needing medical care and wound dressings will be able to receive a patch or scaffold developed through regenerative medicine at a cost of less than 1/10th of what it currently is.

So, yes, we do not only need to exist, we need to thrive to be able to support the industry so that we break the supply ceiling of this industry and allow regenerative medicine to reach to every last mile.
