In April of
2009, Wadsworth Medical Technologies was one of seven companies to win Accelerator Loan from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, a quasi-public agency tasked with implementing Massachusetts' Life Sciences Initiative. Eighty-eight companies applied
for the program, which was overseen by the Center's Scientific Advisory Board. In later 2010, Wadsworth Medical Technologies was awarded an IRS/Theraputic Grant Award. On a personal
note, one of our founders, Andrew D. Fox, MD, former Professor of Vascular Surgery, relates: I fell through
plate glass when I was 6 years old and am still haunted by the experience of being brought to the emergency room - where
two nurses held me down while a doctor stuck me with a burning syringe of novocaine and then placed a dozen or so sutures.
Though the physical scar has long since faded, to this day, I sitll shudder with the memories of anxiety,
fear, and pain associated with that trip to the emergency room. The fundamental standard approach to wound closure is now changed by DermaLOC.
