What Welcare Industries does

Welcare Industries S.p.A. - Società Benefit is an Italian medical device company specializing in skin care, wound management, and infection prevention, founded approximately 25 years ago. The company designs and manufactures Class IIa sterile medical devices across four therapeutic areas: skin cleansing (Sinaqua® line with wipes, gloves, shampoo caps, and IAD products), chronic wounds (UCS® Debridement system, Algidress® Emergency), oncology (Jalosome® patented line for chemotherapy and radiotherapy patients), and infection prevention (Easyderm® sterile products with dermocompatible phospholipids, plus chlorhexidine-impregnated variants). The technology core is proprietary phospholipid-based formulations engineered for dermocompatibility, with the patented Jalosome® platform addressing an underserved clinical niche of fragile skin in cancer patients.

Welcare operates as an Italian Società Benefit with a registered office in Milan and an operational manufacturing facility in Orvieto, where it committed €4.5 million to a new production facility. The company sells directly through its e-commerce platform to Italian healthcare professionals and consumers, and distributes internationally through an exclusive partner network covering more than 20 countries. Key channel partners include Medi UK for international markets and AG Medical for Italy. The company holds B Corp certification, Benefit Corporation status, and EcoVadis sustainability recognition, and participates in major industry conferences including ESTRO, EWMA, and WHX Dubai. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is privately held as a single-member entity (Società con unico socio) with €300,000 in fully paid-in share capital and no disclosed venture capital or institutional investors.
