Advanced Medical Materials — From Research to Production
ETC Innovation develops next-generation wound dressing materials, antimicrobial substrates, and infection control products — integrating materials science, manufacturing capability, and regulatory readiness under one roof.
A vertically integrated MedTech development company
ETC Innovation specializes in process and product development of medical materials for bandages and infection control. We hold positions in four companies with unique patented devices and IP — PF Magic, DrySee, FiteBac WoundCare, and SubPac Wound Care — and invest in the materials science, manufacturing equipment, and regulatory compliance infrastructure to bring those products to market.
Materials & Pipeline
From concept to clinical application
Our pipeline spans active wound dressings, wetness indication materials, infection control substrates, and novel antimicrobial delivery systems — each at a defined development and regulatory stage.
Traditionally, our customers are large medical brands or the converters and suppliers to these large brands. Projects take months to years and often result in custom materials with features for a market or branding advantage.
ETC Innovation is happy to partner and be your roll-goods supplier of custom materials developed and produced in the USA. Contact us to start a conversation.
Foam and Wound Contact Materials
We produce several grades of polyurethane foam for use in advanced wound care applications.
Product data sheets for available foam grades — manufactured exclusively by ETC Innovation LLC.
Absorption, Adsorption, Wicking, Gelling and Superabsorbent properties are all optimized for optimum wound healing. Wetness Indication provides vital information to the caregiver.

Infection Control and Antimicrobials
For over 25 years antimicrobial formulations have been studied, optimized and brought into production as wound care materials. Silver, CHG, PHMB, Quat silanes, etc.
Antimicrobial additive data sheets — manufactured exclusively by ETC Innovation LLC.
Our USA-based manufacturing site houses pilot-scale and production-ready equipment, giving partners a direct path from formulation to compliant commercial output — with no change of custody. Our level of vertical integration is unheard of. We offer a start-to-finish solution to complex wound care devices.
ETC can provide sterile market-ready wound care products with your branding and packaging, 100% made in the USA with domestic materials. Our level of vertical integration allows us to be highly competitive with Asian options.

Portfolio Companies
Investments in early-stage IP
The principals of ETC Innovation hold equity and have invested in four companies in closely related fields. Click any company to learn more.
Sublingual & Transdermal Delivery
Unique and customized formulations of rapidly dissolving sublingual tablets and extended release skin patches. Peptides, pain relief and more.
Patented HydroChromatic indicator materials that change color upon moisture contact. ETC Innovation holds the exclusive manufacturing license — producing the indicator materials used in DrySee wound dressings and foam dressings.
Where blue-sky research becomes real-world innovation
Riverworks is our affiliated applied research entity — dedicated to long-horizon exploration of advanced materials, novel IP combinations, and emerging clinical applications. Ideas that originate at Riverworks feed directly into ETC Innovation's development pipeline.
Earlier production technology has been replaced with a custom robust 100% automated process. The materials have been optimized and will contain PHMB for superior infection control functionality. Check back for updates.
