    Existing clinical research shows that changing gloves after placental delivery, before final closure, reduces surgical site infection rates. Our analysis of this simple change in practice can reduce costs and release capacity for NHS maternity services by reducing hospital readmissions and community follow-up. It is an effective way to reduce spending and utilise resources more efficiently while also improving maternal outcomes.
    Benedict Stanberry, Principal at the Institute of Healthcare Leadership and Management in Oxford
    With more women undergoing major surgery, the risk of complications is rising. Cesarean sections carry some of the highest rates of surgical site infection. This study shows that something as simple as changing gloves before wound closure can make a real difference for mothers and maternity care services. Our Biogel® gloves are designed to make that best practice easy and seamless, so clinicians can stay focused on what matters most: caring for patients,
    Monika Petty, Marketing Manager Gloves at Mölnlycke Health Care
    2025 proved that focused execution and staying close to customers drive results, especially in a turbulent external environment. We’re growing our core business, conquering new markets and transforming how we operate, all while supporting healthcare systems under tremendous pressure to deliver better, more sustainable care.
    Guillaume Joucla, interim CEO, Mölnlycke
    Chronic wounds are preventable, yet patients continue to suffer because care is fragmented and intervention comes too late. By prioritising prevention, strengthening clinician training and building integrated pathways, Europe can dramatically improve outcomes and reduce avoidable burden on patients and healthcare systems. This white paper provides a clear roadmap, now it’s time for policymakers to act.
    Isabella Notarangelo, Governmental Affairs and Policy Manager at Mölnlycke, as well as Co-Vice Chair of the MedTech Europe Wound Care Sector Working Group
    Reaching 100 million trays is far more than a production milestone. It represents a meaningful contribution to many millions of procedures in operating rooms worldwide. We are incredibly proud of the role we play in supporting healthcare systems and improving patient outcomes every single day.
    Fredrik Wallefors, Executive Vice President, Operating Room Solutions, Mölnlycke Health Care.

    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.

    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.
    Carolyn Cross, CEO of Ondine Biomedical
    We are very excited to make this strategic investment in MediWound.

    Zlatko Rihter, CEO of Mölnlycke
