Medetec is run by Dr Steve Thomas
who, for over thirty years, was Director of the Surgical
Materials Testing Laboratory (SMTL) in South Wales, a National Health Service (NHS) laboratory which is widely
regarded as the United Kingdom's leading 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 medical maggots under the name
of LarvE.
In May 2007 Dr Thomas left
ZooBiotic and established Medetec. Since that time he has
remained very active in the surgical dressings area,
recently completing a textbook entitled Surgical
Dressings and Wound Management.
He has also provided technical advice
in a number of legal cases and acted as an independent expert witness.
