MEDIFLY Free Range

Cuprina Free Range is a biosurgical wound dressing containing living larvae of the greenbottle fly Lucilia cuprina. 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 allowed to roam freely on the wound bed.

  • 2

    The movement of the larvae on the wound bed stimulates the growth of healthy tissue.

  • 3

    The larvae will grow to a size of 4mm to 12mm as they liquify devitalised tissue and remove bacteria from the wound.

  • 4

    MEDIFLY Free Range will then be removed from the wound bed by a professional after up to three days.
