In the US, PuriCore's Wound Care technology is used by hospitals, wound care centres, nursing homes, and home healthcare providers to treat chronic and acute wounds. The Wound Care technology also provides partnership opportunities in new Health Sciences segments including Dermatology and Animal Health.

In addition, the Company is progressing in its research and development programmes at Oxford University on the use of its technology as an agricultural fungicide.
