Medical Ethics, a commercial and development company focused on pain mitigation in wounds for humans and animals, has announced the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel Steven Jeffery, Consultant Burns and Plastic Surgeon at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham to its advisory board.
Together with the existing members of the advisory board, Jeffery will provide expert analysis of the group’s research and development plans and help in developing strategies for its unique technology platform.
In particular, Jeffery’s extensive experience in the British Army and as a burns and plastic surgeon will be utilised to investigate the potential of the group’s technology in humans for the immediate treatment of wounds in military and civilian field environments.
Lieutenant Colonel Steven Jeffery, Consultant Burns and Plastic Surgeon, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, commented: “Pain is a real problem for my patients. Currently, there is nothing available for the topical treatment of injured military personnel. Medical Ethics’ unique combination technology has the potential to reduce the pain, as well as the risk of infection, of wounds in the field environment."
"I believe this technology is particularly suited for use on the battlefield, with the potential for the product to be easily carried and used by individual soldiers. I also believe it has the potential to lift soldier’s morale to know there is a product available to quickly reduce pain should they be injured. I am therefore pleased to be part of this advisory board and I look forward to working with Medical Ethics to develop its technology for military application.”
