Tessella Biosciences

What they’re doing: Tessella is now developing a bio-printed dissolvable bandage for burn wounds that has shown faster wound closure and better skin regeneration than current treatments.

How will this be used in the real world? Thousands of Canadians go to the hospital every year with burn wounds. Not only are these injuries very painful, they can also be deadly. Tessella is working on a state-of-the-art dissolvable bandage that can give patients more comfort by helping heal their burns faster.
