Spiddal Company Launches “Ground-Breaking” Wound Care Device
Summary:** FeelTect, a Spiddal-based medtech firm, has launched Tight Alright—a wearable device that monitors and adjusts compression in real-time for wound care, targeting venous ulcers and lymphedema. Using sensors and AI, it ensures optimal pressure to promote healing while preventing complications like tissue damage. With €1.5M investment, the device aims to transform outpatient management, reducing hospital visits and improving adherence in chronic wounds.
Key Highlights:
- Technology: Wearable sensors track pressure, moisture, and movement; AI app adjusts via alerts or automated inflation.
- Applications: Venous ulcers, lymphedema, post-surgical swelling; reduces 30% non-compliance in compression therapy.
- Funding: €1.5M from Enterprise Ireland; CEO: “A game-changer for patient-centered wound care.”
- Impact: Improves circulation, accelerates closure; trials show 25% faster healing.
- Launch: Available Q1 2026; partnerships with HSE for rollout.
