Chronic wound infections affect millions of patients annually. Delayed detection, antibiotic resistance, and inadequate dressings drive avoidable complications, amputations, and enormous healthcare costs.

At Red Maple LifeSciences, we are developing smart biomaterial solutions that respond to the biology of infection, giving clinicians earlier insight and more targeted treatment at the point of care.

EnzyLock Smart Hydrogel Platform

The platform integrates two core functions: real-time bacterial detection through visible color change, and precision antimicrobial delivery triggered only by bacterial presence.

EnzyLock is designed to improve infection response while fitting into existing wound care workflows.
