Market Opportunities

Haemacure is currently pursuing business development opportunities in six market segments where fibrin sealant has application, beyond its core haemostasis segment. These are wound management, adhesion prevention, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, in combination with biomaterials, and cosmetics. All these segments represent major growth opportunities that Haemacure will leverage.

Haemacure is pursuing strategic partnerships for the development of the proteins it has identified in one of its two plasma fractions: albumin, alpha-1 anti-trypsyn, immunoglobulin and plasminogen.
