About
MedHydrogel is a MedTech company with the patent-pending polymer material synthesis technology. We solve the eye drop problem – less than 5% drops get to the eye while tears and blinking wash out the drug. Our therapeutic contact lenses are the ones that clean eyes without using drugs. While others are focused on drug delivery and therefore encounter drug compliance, as well as antibiotic resistance problems, we are the ones who use a completely innovative mode of action in ophthalmology.
