Kensana Wound Management


Wound management needs to change.
Wound management has been stagnant for decades. After 6 months of current best practice, healing is seen in less than 50% of the world’s intractable wounds (Maida et al, 2021). Chronic wounds are major drivers of serious global healthcare trends, including opioid crisis and proliferation of antibiotic “superbugs”
The WHO states chronic wounds are a “Major Global Public Health Crisis”, affecting up to 6% of the population.
Despite 3000 types of dressings, there is no product that consistently heals chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers, diabetic wounds and pressure ulcers (Dhivya et al, 2015).
Patient outcomes with current best practice:
Years of unsuccessful treatments
Removal from society (smell, shame)
Over 100,000 amputations globally each year
Increased likelihood of death
Our unique approach creates invaluable results.
The endocannabinoid system is implicated in nearly every single body system, including the biggest, heaviest, and most ubiquitous – the Integumentary System. Chronic wounds are pathologic states marked by dysregulation of the integumentary endocannabinoid system.
Kensana Health’s proprietary oral and topical treatments involving the enhancement of endocannabinoid functionality work in ways previously not seen in wound management:
Restores normal wound healing cascade
Decreases Wound-related pain
Reduced opioid use
Easy to apply
Non-invasive
Well tolerated
What was ‘Non-healing’ is now ‘Complete wound closure’.
A series of experiments were conducted with a variety of previously non-healing patients who had been treated (unsuccessfully) with the current gold standard for 6 months or more prior to their Kensana Health treatment.
Our proprietary treatments achieved over 80% complete wound closure. For instance, in patients with previously non-healing venous leg ulcers this result was achieved in a median 34 days (Maida et al, 2021). Additionally, complete healing was shown in our first target, calciphylaxis, a rare disease with up to 80% mortality within 12 months.
The exceptional results of Kensana Health’s First-In-Human trials provide unique insights into impending results of regulatory-controlled trials.

Innovative Approach to Phytopharmaceuticals
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the problems with an unreliable supply chain. Kensana Health, from its beginnings, was built with a vertically-integrated model.
Internally controlling all aspects of the supply chain, from harvesting GMP-grade APIs from plants, produced in a cutting-edge environmentally-controlled cultivation system, through to our extraction and FDA-compliant GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
Our shared vision and strategic partnership with MB-Holding enables us to complete our vertical integration.
