MediWound (NASDAQ:MDWD) (NASDAQ: MDWD) is a commercial‐stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel therapeutic solutions for tissue repair and regeneration. Headquartered in Ra’anana, Israel, with commercial operations in the United States and Europe, the company was founded in 2002 and has since leveraged its expertise in human extracellular matrix and enzymatic technologies to address significant unmet medical needs in acute and chronic wounds.
The company’s lead product, NexoBrid®, is an enzyme‐based debriding agent approved in Europe and the United States for the removal of dead tissue (eschar) in adults with severe thermal burn injuries. NexoBrid® utilizes a proprietary concentrate of proteolytic enzymes to selectively dissolve necrotic tissue while preserving viable tissue, reducing the need for surgical intervention and improving healing outcomes. MediWound also markets Bridematrix®, a dermal regeneration template, in partnership with Tepha, Inc., and is advancing a pipeline of novel formulations designed to enhance wound healing and reduce scarring.
In addition to its burn care franchise, MediWound is exploring next‐generation extracellular matrix therapies for indications such as chronic non‐healing wounds and post‐surgical fibrosis. The company maintains manufacturing capabilities in Israel and has established strategic partnerships to support global distribution, including collaborations in Asia and Latin America. MediWound’s regulatory achievements include approvals in over 60 countries, reflecting a broad geographic footprint and a well‐developed commercial infrastructure.
The executive leadership team is headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Ariel Harel, whose two decades of experience in biotechnology and medical devices have guided MediWound’s transition from development to commercialization. The company’s senior management also includes seasoned experts in clinical development, regulatory affairs and global marketing, all of whom work under the oversight of an independent board of directors with deep expertise in life sciences. MediWound continues to invest in research and strategic partnerships, aiming to expand its portfolio and bring innovative wound care solutions to patients worldwide.
