HidraMed Solutions founder Suzanne Moloney has been chosen as The Irish Times Business Person of the Month for January, an award run in association with Bank of Ireland. Ms Moloney was selected for the award after the Galway-based medtech company won the Irish Times Innovation of the Year award for 2020 for developing a novel dressing system aimed at those suffering from the incurable skin disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). She was chosen as the winner by a panel of judges chaired by leading entrepreneur and investor Chris Horn. She tackled the dressings problem from a novel angle, designing adhesive-free dressings to fit into a range of specially-created underwear. The global wound care market is worth an estimated $23 billion (€19 billion) and HidraMed’s technology also has potential applications in the wider chronic wound care market.
