As a mountain guide, I noticed guests on their hiking journey lost focus to the angst of blisters and wound pain.

I began questioning why natural, high-performance materials weren’t being used in wound care.

In 2016 we proudly patented the world's first merino wool bandage.

YOUR BANDAGE IS BORN HERE

Lake Tekapo, New Zealand

The production of merino wool is a centuries old art.

 

First established in New Zealand in 1773, merino sheep survive in remarkably tough mountain conditions.

 

This is thanks to the evolution of their wool and to the craft, dedication and stewardship of farmers like Glen from Simons Hill Station in New Zealand's Mackenzie country.
