Technology

Quick-Med develops and patents novel antimicrobial technologies with good antimicrobial stewardship practices.The technologies are sustainable with non-toxic degradation products, and provide durable broad spectrum efficacy without generating resistant organisms.

NIMBUS

NIMBUS is currently being used in bound form to a gauze substrate as a wound dressing. Due to its patented manufacturing process, the active component within the NIMBUS Barrier Dressings is intrinsically bound to the substrate and is therefore nontoxic. In addition, due to the active components’ relatively large size, and also due to the non-leaching attributes of the dressing, bacteria can not develop resistance to NIMBUS dressings. This is a vital benefit of a dressing being considered for prophylactic widespread usage. NIMBUS is the only non-leaching antimicrobial wound dressing material on the market. Our lab's analysis indicated that rinsing of the gauze does not result in a degredation of NIMBUS' integrity as a gauze. Nimbus wound dressing technology received FDA approval as a De Novo innovation in 2007 (FDA K060662 / DEN 070002).

Stay Fresh

QMT uses the trademarks Stay Fresh and Oxi-Tex to denote its antimicrobial technology that is based on sequestering hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide is durably preserved in a dry state in various matrix products, most commonly Zinc Oxide. Hydrogen peroxide works by disrupting bacterial cell walls and organelles. The human body already uses hydrogen peroxide as its own defense chemistry against bacterial invaders in the phagocytosis process, and it is also present in mothers’ milk and saliva. Human cells have the capacity to secrete protective enzymes like Catalase to protect themselves from the effect of peroxide, making peroxide an excellent way to target pathogenic organisms. The degradation products of peroxide are water and oxygen, which are nontoxic to humans and ecologically sustainable.

Stay Fresh and Stay Fresh Superabsorbents for Femcare and Incontinence Care

Our safe and sustainable sanitation products are in use for sustainable FemCare. Feminine hygeine products pose a cost both financially to consumers as well as for environmental sustainability. We manufacture a line of underwear with scientifically-demonstrated efficacy for absorbancy, antisepsis, and reusability. Our products are odor-free and aim to equalize access and help reduce the burden Feminine care puts on indviduals and the environment.
