Patented silver chloride and chitosan therapeutic serum for chronic inflammatory skin conditions

Technology
In development
Company

A patented topical therapy combining silver chloride and chitosan for chronic inflammatory skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, burns, and diabetic wounds. Reduces inflammation, eliminates harmful bacteria, promotes healing, and forms a protective film against free radicals. Proven non-toxic with 60+ efficacy studies and 8 years of European market use.

Overview

This patented therapeutic serum combines silver chloride and chitosan to address chronic inflammatory skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, burns, and hard-to-heal diabetic wounds. The formulation reduces inflammation, eliminates harmful bacteria while maintaining a healthy skin staph profile, and promotes healing by encouraging the production of beneficial growth factors. It also forms a thin protective film on the skin surface to shield against free radical absorption and oxidation.

The product has been sold as a beauty item in Europe for over eight years, accumulating thousands of four-star consumer reviews. The company holds new intellectual property covering manufacturing processes and therapeutic uses, including potential application as an inhaled drug therapy for lung diseases. Because the serum can be used continuously over long periods to maintain its anti-inflammatory effects, it supports a recurring revenue model for chronic condition management.

About Chitozan Health LLC

Chitozan Health LLC is a biotechnology research firm that develops antimicrobial solutions utilizing patented silver-chitosan technology [1][3][5]. Their core innovation, marketed as Silver Shell or Glucosil, incorporates chitosan and silver particles to create durable, effective antimicrobial barriers for various applications [1][5][8]. By leveraging the biostatic properties of chitosan, the company produces textile finishes and topical gels that are designed to combat pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, while minimizing the use of silver and maintaining safety standards [1][5][8]. This research is supported by NIH NIAID funding and focuses on managing infections, such as those related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis, as well as providing broad-spectrum protection in healthcare and consumer settings [1][5][7].

These products serve a range of stakeholders, from industrial partners in textile manufacturing and sustainable packaging to healthcare providers and individual consumers in need of advanced wound and burn care [1][4][7][8]. The company's technology addresses critical challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, infection control, and the environmental impact of synthetic materials [1][4][8]. Through rigorous independent laboratory testing, their treatments have demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing pathogen populations and sustaining performance even after multiple commercial wash cycles [1][5]. With a focus on sustainable, naturally derived materials, Chitozan Health aims to provide safer, more effective alternatives for infection mitigation across multiple sectors [1][7].
