WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX- V:KNE) (“Kane Biotech” or “Kane”) announces the publication of an article on its revyve® Antimicrobial wound gel in the International Wound Journal. The article “Wound Healing Property of a Novel Thermo-Reversible Wound Gel With Lasting Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity” is first-authored by Dr. Jeyachchandran Visvalingam, Internal R&D Leader, and includes authors from the Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami.
Key messages of the article as it relates to Kane’s revyve wound gel include:
- The thermo-reversible gel shifts from a low viscosity liquid to a form-fitting gel at body temperature, then re-liquefies when cooled for easy, atraumatic removal.
- revyve demonstrated efficacy against a broad range of wound-related pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with a 99.99%–99.9999% reduction in bacterial counts within 30 min.
- There was sustained in vitro activity for up to 7 days, potentially reducing the number of dressing changes.
- The safety and non-cytotoxicity of the gel were validated through biocompatibility testing and a porcine wound-healing study.
