KeriCure

What KeriCure does

KeriCure Medical is a woman-owned, privately-held biotechnology company founded in 2011 by Dr. Kerriann Greenhalgh and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company is built around a proprietary nanopolymer polyacrylate platform developed over 15+ years at the University of South Florida, which mimics the elasticity of natural skin (elastin) to form an oxygen-permeable, hypoallergenic barrier that supports moist wound healing. Core products — including Field Shield Wound Dressing (FDA 510(k) cleared in July 2024 and the first multi-use spray-on dressing combining silver hydrosol antimicrobial with lidocaine pain relief), Advanced Shield variants, Advanced Seal, and KeriCleanz antiseptic cleanser — combine the polyacrylate polymer with antimicrobial silver and, in select SKUs, topical lidocaine. A veterinary sub-brand (Tough Seal/Tough Shield) and private-label lines (SwineSeal, BioFilm Blast MD) extend the technology to adjacent markets.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Smith+Nephew: Global medical device company with a large advanced wound care portfolio (Allevyn, PICO) sold to hospitals, burn centers, and government channels. Comparable because it competes for the same advanced wound dressing formulary slots as Field Shield and Advanced Shield Chronic.
• Mölnlycke Health Care: Major wound care and surgical solutions company known for Mepilex, Mepitel, and Mepiform dressings. Comparable because it sells advanced wound care products into burn centers, hospitals, and the same long-term care segment that KeriCure targets with Advanced Shield Chronic.
• Integra LifeSciences: Medical technology company with a significant wound care and regenerative tissue portfolio (Integra Dermal Regeneration Template). Comparable because it competes in advanced burn and chronic wound care, including in military and burn center accounts.
• 3M Health Care (Solventum): Spun-off medical division (now Solventum) including Tegaderm transparent dressings and a large advanced wound care line. Comparable because Tegaderm is one of the incumbent products KeriCure's marketing specifically references as a baseline to displace.
• ConvaTec: Wound care, ostomy, and continence care company with products like Aquacel and DuoDERM. Comparable because it competes head-to-head in advanced wound dressings and benefits from the same hospital and home health reimbursement dynamics that drive KeriCure's HCPCS A6248 economics.
• Coloplast: Danish medical device company with a sizable wound and skin care business (Biatain, Comfeel). Comparable because it targets chronic wounds, elderly skin, and the long-term care channel where KeriCure is launching Advanced Shield Chronic Wound Barrier.

Emerging players

• DermaRite Industries: Private manufacturer of wound care, skin care, and barrier products sold into long-term care, home health, and provider channels. Comparable because it competes in the same post-acute and chronic wound care segments where Advanced Shield Chronic Wound Barrier is being launched.
• Covalon Technologies: Smaller medical device company focused on antimicrobial and advanced wound dressings using silver and other technologies. Comparable because it competes at a similar scale and product positioning to KeriCure in the antimicrobial spray-on and coated wound dressing category.

Direct peers

• MiMedx: Regenerative wound care and surgical recovery company (EpiFix, AmnioFix) where KeriCure's founder previously led R&D. Comparable because it sells advanced wound care products to the same hospital, burn, and military channels that KeriCure targets.
• Organogenesis: Regenerative medicine and wound care company (Apligraf, Dermagraft) that sells biologic and advanced wound care products to hospitals, burn centers, and government channels. Comparable because it pursues the same advanced/regenerative wound care positioning and burn center customer base as Field Shield.
