Description

Amferia is a young Swedish medtech company founded in 2018 with the ambitious goal of tackling the global threat of antibiotic resistance. They have developed a unique antimicrobial technology platform based on bioinspired and amphiphilic antibacterial polymers that rapidly kill bacteria upon contact, even those resistant to antibiotics. Their technology is highly selective, targeting only bacteria while being non-toxic to human and animal cells.

Amferia's first product is a wound care dressing for animals, which has undergone successful clinical testing in Europe and has already been launched in Sweden. The company is currently expanding into other markets and is preparing to launch its human wound care product. Amferia is also exploring other potential applications for their technology, including spray-based products for wound care and coatings for medical devices. Their goal is to create a sustainable solution to combat antibiotic resistance by providing safer and more effective antimicrobial alternatives.
