That tiny bandage? It’s part of 400 million tons of plastic waste, 170 tons of ocean microplastics, and may carry chemicals linked to cancer.
Traditional adhesive bandages often damage fragile skin instead of healing it. Nearly 30% of seniors, 40% of preterm infants, and 50% of risk of infection suffer from adhesive-related skin injuries.
Key concerns include:
Strong adhesives tear delicate skin
Trap fluid, slowing healing
No antibacterial protection
Unfit for burns or sensitive wounds
Poor fit with modern wound-care systems
For centuries, Indigenous coastal peoples used seaweed as a natural remedy for wounds, skin irritations, and overall healing.
At Miha Biotech, we carry this wisdom forward by extracting seaweed’s bioactive compounds and transforming them into advanced biomaterials. Our science-driven approach creates skin-like, sustainable wound care solutions tailored for faster healing and sensitive skin.
At Miha Biotech, our PhD scientists combine advanced technology, industry experience, and a commitment to sustainability. Proudly developed in Canada, we are dedicated to transforming science into real-world impact
We are opening our first investment round to accelerate Miha Biotech into the next phase, scaling pilot production, meeting regulatory requirements, and entering the market.
