ElaSkin is based on the patent-pending biopolymer technology invented by the R&D team in Aleo BME. It received the FDA 510(k) clearance for both over-the-counter and prescription uses to treat diverse minor wound conditions.
ElaSkin Liquid Bandage is made in a borosilicate glass reactor, equipped with pressure and temperature-controlled devices to maintain high stabililty and operational reliability. A consistent reaction environment is extremely important in producing high quality products. It allows our Lead Manufacturing Scientist, Jia Luo, to control every detail and ensure quality control and consistency among product batches. Currently one reactor can produce anywhere from 1,250 to 2,500 units of ElaSkin Liquid Bandage in one batch and over 10,000 units each week.
One critical parameter for a successful production run is the moisture level. The production team uses the instrument called Karl Fischer Coulometric Titration, capable of determining the water content of ingredients at a ppm level, to set up an in-process moisture level monitoring. It enables the team to remove even trace amounts of water from the ingradients and maintain an inertial atmosphere for production. Every step of the manufacturing process is well controlled and documented following the cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant quality system, to ensure the high quality of each product batch
Luo, who has a background in Bio-Material Science and Analytical Chemistry, has been working at Aleo BME for over two years. He is currently the lead of the manufacturing team and says “I do love making this product. I believe that ElaSkin liquid bandage is the best liquid bandage… I believe our products really help a lot of customers… Every time when I read the customers’ feedback about our product, I was really happy, and all of our efforts are worth it.”
