Like something out of a futuristic sci fi thriller, the SkinGun from RenovaCare sprays a fluid containing the receiver's stem cells onto wounds, allowing them to heal faster than when left to the body's devices. "Gun" is perhaps an exaggeration, as RenovaCare's skin guns shoot a fine mist, called CellMist, onto wounds.
The CellMist treatment has been used to treat second-degree burns, and RenovaCare expects to use it on "chronic wounds, vitiligo, scars, and other skin disorders" in the future. Using the SkinGun, the CellMist treatment takes approximately 90 minutes to complete.
When compared to traditional methods of skin treatment, like skin grafts, RenovaCare's skin guns effectively heal a plethora of conditions without any painful, invasive surgeries. Instead, the CellMist system only requires "a postage stamp-sized sample of donor skin."
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Stem Cell Spraying
- Developing Spraying methods for healthy skin through stem cells which provide faster healing than traditional methods.
- Non-invasive Wound Healing
- Developing non-invasive wound healing methods through skin transplantation and stem cells providing quicker results than surgical methods.
- Miniature Wound Healing Gadgets
- Creating miniature wound healing devices that heal chronic wounds and other skin disorders with minimal invasiveness using non-surgical methods.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Healthcare
- Healthcare industry can benefit from the non-invasive wound healing technology for the treatment of chronic wounds which can promote faster healing, reduce infection rates and also reduce cost.
- Cosmetic
- Cosmetics industry can benefit from the development of skin grafting techniques that can promote faster skin recovery through use of stem cells, providing a more natural and youthful appearance.
- Pharmaceutical
- Pharmaceutical companies can benefit from Stem cell therapy for treatment of a variety of skin disorders including vitiligo, scars and more which would reduce the need for surgeries and provide better results with less complications.
