EVERY WOUND IS PERSONAL
Reapplix has established that one of the keys to successful wound treatment lies in the body’s capacity to heal – and each patient is central to that process.
Founded in 2008, Reapplix specializes in the biological treatment and management of diabetic foot ulcers. The patented 3CPatch® System is an innovative , evidence-based biological wound therapy made entirely from the patient’s own blood – nothing else.
Headquartered in Denmark, with sales and distribution teams in the US and Europe, Reapplix won the 2018 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the life science category.
