MEDIFLY Baggots

MEDIFLY Baggots is a biosurgical wound dressing containing living larvae of the greenbottle fly Lucilia Cuprina, enclosed in a polyester pouch. The larvae are grown in an aseptic environment and are sterilised to meet international standards for use as a medical device.

How It Works

  • 1

    The newly hatched larvae measure around 1-2 mm long and are contained in a sealed enclosure.

  • 2

    The secretions from the larvae pass through the porous material to liquify the devitalised tissue and remove bacteria.

  • 3

    Exudate passes through the polyester enclosure and is removed by the outer secondary dressing.

  • 4

    MEDIFLY Baggots will then be removed from the wound bed by a professional after up to four days.
