Medetec is a new organisation
which offers a unique range of specialised services to companies
involved in the production of all types of dressings, wound
management materials and other related medical devices such as
compression hosiery and extensible bandages.
Medetec is run by Dr Steve
Thomas
who, for over thirty years, was Director of the Surgical
Materials Testing Laboratory (SMTL) in South Wales, widely
regarded as the United Kingdom's leading NHS centre for
testing dressings and medical devices.
Dr Thomas has published widely on a range of topics relating to
wound management, details of which may be accessed here.
In 1995 whilst still in SMTL, Dr Thomas was responsible for
reintroducing maggot therapy into Europe. He subsequently left
the NHS in 2005 to become Technical Director of ZooBiotic
Ltd, a small pharmaceutical company that was established
specifically to produce and sell sterile maggots under the name
of LarvE.
In May 2007 Dr Thomas left
ZooBiotic and established Medetec.
