A One-of-a-Kind Solution Trusted by Doctors

Supported by published data, VERIS™ addresses the toughest barriers to wound healing and is prescribed by Mohs surgeons, Dermatologists, and Podiatrists across the country.

MATERIALS YOU CAN COUNT ON

  • A natural extracellular matrix protein, an essential part of organic tissue known to help control inflammation. (8)

  • Known for antibacterial properties and aiding in wound healing. (9)

  • A naturally occurring mineral known to add structural reinforcement to biomaterials and promote wound healing via angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. (10)

The easy-to-use packaging of VERIS™ has made self-application convenient, even while traveling, allowing me to maintain my wound care routine without hassle.

FAQs

VERIS™ Overview

  • VERIS™ is FDA-cleared for the management of wounds, including chronic ulcers and surgical sites. VERIS™ is most effective on open, cleaned wounds, e.g. a debrided DFU or Mohs (skin cancer removal) wound left for secondary intention healing.

  • VERIS™ must be prescribed by your doctor. To support the conversation with your doctor, follow these two steps:

    1. Download or share link to VERIS™ informational materials found here.

    2. Have your doctor contact us at info@sweetbio.com or 888-323-2015 and our team will respond within 24 hours.

  • Powered by a patented combination of 3 natural ingredients, VERIS™ is a one-of-a-kind solution backed by science. Ingredients:

    • Collagen Derivative: A natural extracellular matrix protein, an essential part of organic tissue. (8)

    • 100% UMF™-Certified New Zealand Mānuka Honey: Known for antibacterial properties and aiding in wound healing. (9)

    • Hydroxyapatite: A naturally occurring mineral known to add structural reinforcement to biomaterials and promote wound healing via angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. (10)

  • VERIS™ was created by SweetBio, Inc. Learn more about SweetBio's mission and values here.

  • VERIS™ is made with SweetBio®’s technology, MX™, which addresses the wound's microenvironment by balancing key variables known to heavily impact both early stages (i.e., homeostasis and inflammatory phases) and late stages (i.e., proliferation and remodeling phases) of the wound healing process. (5-7*)

  • VERIS™ is covered by Medicare as a wound care supply. Depending on your policy, VERIS™ may be covered by commercial plans.

  • There is no FDA-cleared claim for VERIS™ or any other Mānuka honey product on the market as an antibacterial product. However, Mānuka honey is well-researched for its antibacterial properties, and SweetBio®’s MX™ technology has demonstrated a remarkable 99.99% reduction in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in vitro, which is published in peer-reviewed journals. (5*)

  • Yes, the Mānuka honey used in VERIS™ is 100% UMF certified and medical grade, which is filtered and sterilized.

Using VERIS™

  • VERIS™ is a sponge-like, non-sticky sheet with an off-white to golden color. As VERIS™ is made with natural ingredients, size, shape, texture and color may vary between products.

  • Several drops of saline are sufficient to prepare VERIS™. VERIS™ should be wet, not soaking or dripping, to avoid saturating the covering bandage. Note that VERIS™ may expand slightly as it hydrates with saline.

  • No, VERIS™ works well even when set in the wound bed and does not overlap the edges of the wound. Most importantly, VERIS™ must contact the wound bed. Press gently upon application to maximize wound bed contact.

  • No, VERIS™ can be applied with either side contacting the wound.

  • On average, VERIS™ dissolves daily. Apply a new VERIS™ product per your clinician’s recommendation.

  • VERIS™ is not indicated for:

    • Patients with sensitivity to collagen and its derivatives

    • Patients with sensitivity to porcine-derived products

    • Patients with sensitivity to honey

    • Third degree burns

    • Infections or contamination in the wound site

    • Control of bleeding

    • Children and infant patients under 10kg / 22lbs

    Usage Information

    • Users should follow the most recent procedures and best practices for wound management to complete wound preparation, application of VERIS™ and application of secondary dressings.

    • Remove VERIS™ and discontinue use if signs of sensitivity appear.

    • Do not use VERIS™ after the expiration date stated on the product label.

    Contact a health care professional if:

    • Signs of infection occur (e.g. increased pain)

    • There is a change in wound color and/or odor

    • The wound does not begin to show signs of healing, or

    • Any other unexpected symptom
