    The support from Mölnlycke in establishing the centre is grounded in our commitment to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all and the vision we have for achieving sustainable healthcare. A part of this vision is making the centre self-sufficient, and that includes raising the level of knowledge of the local healthcare professionals in the areas where Mölnlycke can offer expertise. Cleft patients continue to be stigmatised and we are delighted to be able to contribute to changing their lives and fully including them in society.
    Eric de Kesel, COO & EVP Sustainability, Mölnlycke

    Mölnlycke’s purpose is to revolutionise care for people and planet. In the Antiseptics business area, we do this by making patient skin decolonisation manageable and motivational. We believe that Steriwave can improve the lives of millions of people, fitting perfectly with our purpose and mission. The ability to rapidly eliminate multiple drug-resistant pathogens without generating antimicrobial resistance is key to our sustainability initiative, and complements our Hibiwash® brand skin prep line, enabling us to provide comprehensive ‘nose-to-toes’ decolonisation prior to surgery. Universal decolonisation is now a well-accepted practice to improve surgical outcomes and produce significant cost savings to healthcare systems.
    Lina Karlsson, Executive Vice President Antiseptics, Mölnlycke
    We are excited to be partnering with Mölnlycke Health Care, whose global reach, corporate vision and commitment to sustainable healthcare aligns perfectly with our own core values, purpose and mission.

We look forward to working with Mölnlycke in these initial key markets and beyond.

    These market practices that allow extrapolation of evidence from one specific product to another similar type of product, even though the latter is not equivalent in material construction and design to the former, can put patients at risk.
    Richard Twomey, CEO
    Compared with the rigorous and thorough processes in place within the pharmaceutical industry for extrapolation of clinical evidence of efficacy from one product to another, parts of the medical devices industry is operating in a grey zone.
    Professor Amit Gefen
    Healthcare systems are under pressure to deliver better care to more people with a better value. Right now, healthcare is focused on outcomes. By focusing on prevention issues, you are able to help reduce some costs to the healthcare systems. Our solutions are designed to help reduce the risk of infection, hospital readmissions, and hospital acquired conditions. These are things that can lead to much higher costs, much higher patient suffering, and longer length of stay.
    Al Concemi, Vice President of Marketing – US Surgical Division
