"Converting clinical insight into devices that improve diagnostics through compassion and precision."

The Philosophy

Traditional tissue sampling has long relied on sharp instruments that, while effective, often cause unnecessary patient discomfort. After decades of clinical practice, a fundamental question emerged: could there be a gentler way?

The answer lies in understanding that effective tissue collection doesn't require cutting. By engineering medical textiles with precisely calibrated fiber properties, tissue can be collected through gentle friction, maintaining diagnostic accuracy while transforming the patient experience.

This principle, compassionate tissue removal, guides every innovation that follows.

Innovations in Practice

Kylon Medical Fabric

Kylon is a patented non-woven medical textile engineered for gentle, frictional tissue sampling. Unlike sharp instruments, Kylon collects tissue through precisely calibrated fiber interaction, enabling diagnostics that are both accurate and patient-friendly.

The technology has applications across gynecologic diagnostics, wound care, and hygiene, representing a fundamental rethinking of how medical sampling can work.

Cervical Sampling Wound Care Debridement

SpiraBrush CX

SpiraBrush CX is an innovative cervical sampling device designed to address common challenges in cervical screening. The spiral brush design ensures comprehensive sampling of the transformation zone with improved patient comfort.

The device collects adequate endocervical cells for Pap smear analysis and HPV testing, contributing to more effective cervical cancer screening programs.

Pap Smear HPV Testing Screening

Speculoscopy / PapSure

Speculoscopy augments traditional Pap smear screening with direct visual inspection under chemiluminescent illumination. This technique helps identify acetowhite lesions that may indicate cervical dysplasia.

By adding a visual component to cytological screening, speculoscopy provides an additional layer of detection sensitivity in point-of-care settings.
