About

At Aethl, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in wound and skin care. For millions living with chronic wounds, recovery is often slow, painful, and disruptive. Patients and clinicians face limited options, and progress in care has not kept pace with the need. Aethl Bio was founded to help change that. We are building therapeutic and care-focused platforms to advance how wound and skin recovery is supported. By studying the biological drivers of tissue recovery, we are developing technologies designed to improve the wound microenvironment. Our work is grounded in rigorous science and driven by a simple goal: to expand the tools available to clinicians, caregivers, and patients navigating difficult-to-heal wounds and compromised skin by leveraging the power of oxygen. Aethl Bio’s platform is built around proprietary hydrogel technology designed to support a sustained normoxic wound environment. We are pursuing opportunities across global wound care and adjacent categories, including animal health wound and post-surgical care, as well as advanced skincare and cosmeceutical applications. With IP-protected formulations and a scalable platform approach, Aethl Bio is focused on building versatile solutions for high-need care settings and skin-support applications.
