Faster healing and reduced infection risk lead to better quality of life and higher patient satisfaction.
Effective wound management helps lower costly and disruptive hospital readmissions.
Streamlined protocols free up valuable nursing time, allowing focus on other critical patient needs.
Superior outcomes and patient satisfaction boost hospital quality scores and community standing.
Sell ClearikonFLEX™ directly to hospital systems through value-based procurement, emphasizing reduced dressing changes, improved inspection, and lower clinician time—backed by cost modeling and CMS-aligned reimbursement.
Every patient bandaged with ClearikonFLEX™ saves hospitals $685 per month.
Hospital Savings Example
*Per the American Hospital Association (AHA), there are 6,093 hospitals in the U.S. totaling 913,136 staffed beds. This averages to about 150 beds per hospital treating about 5,655 unique patients per month. Of these about 1,500 to 2,000 need bandaging. We forecast a conservative yet steady adoption rate from 2026- 2030.
Partner with home health agencies and medical product suppliers to distribute ClearikonFLEX™ as a reimbursable product, enabling remote wound monitoring and fewer nurse visits.
Half the home health visits. Simple to teach, less painful to change, better compliance with provider orders.
ClearikonFLEX reduces the burden on patients and providers by extending bandage wear, simplifying care, and enabling telehealth monitoring. The result: fewer visits, less pain, and better outcomes.
It is our intention to secure federal contracts and SBIR/STTR funding to deploy ClearikonFLEX™ in field kits and VA systems, highlighting dual-use adaptability, inspection-friendly design, and battlefield efficiency.
Wound infections in a prolonged care environment pose a substantial threat to the operational effectiveness of deployed forces. Clearikon™ will apply for research funding to study combat wound infection mitigation and control in austere environments.
The proposed research will test whether the combination of 1) a topical treatment of a wound to Hypochlorous Acid (ClearSpray™), 2) our newly created bandage ClearikonFLEX™, with 3) the addition of smart sensors, ClearikonSYNC™, can achieve these results.
Clearikon™ will submit a proposal to the Department of Defense Health Agency Funding Opportunity (#HT942523SBAA1) for basic and applied research to support this scientific study.

- Unique Access & Reduced Disruption: Peelable transparent flap allows frequent inspection/treatment without full bandage removal, minimizing pain, stress, and skin trauma.
- Long-Term Efficiency: Potential for significant time and cost savings by reducing full bandage changes, treatment times and accelerating healing.
-Nuanced Exudate Management: The Bandage is dressing agnostic allowing optimal dressings and drains to be installed and changed as often as needed without a complete bandage change.
-Continuous Visual Monitoring: Transparent flap enables instant wound observation, aiding timely intervention.
- Potential for Enhanced Compliance: Less pain and less frequent changes may improve patient adherence.
- High Initial Cost: The more expensive advanced unit cost compared to common or new versions of traditional dressings (e.g., films, basic foams).
- Limited Brand Recognition: Early entrant in the human wound care market compared to major competitors.
- Application Learning Curve: Unique design may require some limited user education for optimal use.
- Market Acceptance - Initial resistance to change in nursing and patient care.
- Massive Human Wound Care Market: Significant potential for chronic wounds (diabetic, pressure, venous ulcers) where its core benefits are highly valuable.
- Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with major healthcare distributors, Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO), and wound care specialists.
- Product Line Expansion: Development of diverse sizes, absorbency levels, integrated features (e.g., antimicrobials)and sensors to monitor wounds via apps.
- Value-Based Marketing: Emphasize long-term cost-effectiveness, reduced nursing time, and improved patient outcomes to justify initial price.
- Telemedicine Synergy: Transparency supports remote wound assessment.
- Dual Market Opportunity: Products are positioned to offer solutions to address needs for both the Human Health and Animal Health.
- Cost Sensitivity: High initial price may be a significant barrier in a price-conscious healthcare market, especially against much cheaper alternatives (e.g., gauze, basic films).
- Competitor Innovation: Existing large players may develop similar "access" features or introduce other disruptive technologies (e.g., advanced smart dressings).
- Regulatory Hurdles: Rigorous and costly FDA approval processes for human use.
- Entrenched Brand Loyalty: Major brands have deep roots and established trust with clinicians and procurement.
- Disruptive Topical Treatments: Highly effective topical solutions that reduce the need for complex dressings.
