MARSI (Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injuries) is a common but under-recognized complication in wound care
Impact of MARSI
The application and removal of medical adhesive dressings to the skin typically manifests as a skin tear, blistering, moist or macerated skin.
The average cost to fix an incidence of MARSI is $125.
Our customer discovery shows that the issue exists for 30% of the hospital population.
Economic Impact of MARSI in excess care and time costs is around $13B.
This problem exists today even after introduction of better dressings and skin barrier products - Strong unmet need.
PolyLux’s disruptive product AuraPeel is based on a breakthrough photo-responsive adhesive that sticks better than competition but removes easy on demand.
