Limburg nurse develops an electric brush to care for chronic wounds

Belgian public broadcaster VRT NWS spoke with founder Kristof Balliu about the Yarrow Wound Brush. As a wound care nurse he saw that chronic wounds are often not cleaned thoroughly enough, which slows down healing. That led to an electric brush with soft silicone bristles that loosens the biofilm in a few minutes, and that any caregiver can use.

The brush is already available in the United States. For Europe, Yarrow receives a breakthrough loan of €200,000 from the Limburgse Reconversiemaatschappij (LRM), mainly for the certification. The European launch is planned for next autumn.
