OTAS INNOPEUTICS

OTAS Innopeutics is a startup where innovation meets therapeutics. Founded in March 2023 to proffer lasting solutions to various forms of infectious diseases that are common to Africans and other Global Southerners. The first problem we are solving right now is that of difficult-to-heal chronic wounds that develop due to resistance to antibiotics. We produced nanocomposites cream to effectively heal chronic wounds in a few days with minimal side effects. It has no toxic effect on the kidney and liver functions. The product is relatively cheap and absorbs better into the wound bed when compared with other similar products.
