His flagship product, Parafricta, a frictionless fabric is the first proven answer to the key nursing goal identified by EPUAP (European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Board), namely to "protect against the adverse effects of external mechanical forces: pressure, friction and shear on skin".The 25 yr old explained: "It is wonderful to be a part of a product that will revolutionalize the way to prevent pressure ulcers, treat dry skin conditions like eczema, keep wound dressings in place that are dislodged due to friction and to help gain these sufferers a better quality of life."
"Pressure ulcers cost the NHS around 2 billion every year and now there is a product that can reduce this cost dramatically. The fabric boasts properties that have already gain recognition by London's Science Museum. It has a coefficient of friction close to that of ice, almost as strong as steel, breathable, inert and can be washed up to 160 degrees with out losing any of its properties. "Parafricta™ Fabric products have been evaluated by more than 15 NHS sites in the UK including Great Ormond Street, where trials were conducted on children with fragile skin due to Epidermolysis Bullosa.
