Quick-Med Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that a team of
scientists from Quick-Med received the Blue Ribbon Award at the
Symposium on Advanced Wound Care and Wound Healing Society’s
21st Annual Meeting for the outstanding abstract entitled: "Persistent
Skin Sanitizer (NimbuDerm™) with Sustained
Microbicidal Properties.” The abstract
was sponsored by Quick-Med Technologies and the University of Florida at
Gainesville.
The Wound Healing Society offers the Blue Ribbon Industrial Research
& Development Award to recognize the best product-oriented
research performed by research and development scientists within the
corporate world. This year, a total of 11 blue ribbons were awarded
including 2 to teams from Quick-Med Technologies. Other participants at
the SAWC/WHS event were prominent companies such as Johnson & Johnson
Wound Management, 3M Healthcare, Kinetic Concepts, Inc., and
Healthpoint, Ltd., as well as leading educational institutions such as
the Harvard Medical School, Stanford University, and the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
"We are honored to receive this important
recognition from such a prestigious organization as the Wound Healing
Society,” said J. Ladd Greeno, CEO of
Quick-Med Technologies. "NimbuDerm technology
represents an important breakthrough that has the potential to
dramatically improve hand hygiene by combining the power of an instant
sanitizer with long-lasting personal protection.”
This project team is lead by David Moore1 and
includes William Toreki1, Roy Carr1,
Gregory Schultz1,2, Christopher Batich1,2,
Albina Mikhaylova1, Jillian Vella1,
and Gerald Olderman1. (1Quick-Med

Human use tests show that NimbuDerm is both instant and provides a high
level of continuing antimicrobial protection for 6 hours after
application without wearing off or losing its effectiveness. Poor hand
hygiene is considered to be a major contributor to the spread of
infectious diseases and the increase of potentially deadly
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA infections.
NimbuDerm, an extension of Quick-Med’s NIMBUS®
technology, opens up new application vistas as a result of its liquid
form, unique properties, and formulation flexibility.
