Sort of advertising but not really seeing as a fair few pistonheaders have had input into this....apologies if rule bending here but think a few might be interested smile

You can now get Dreamskin tights in Boots! So SKR..your brand name is all over the UK!

the more serious medical variant is undergoing final clinical trials currently and should be available through the NHS before year end for any dermatitis and eczema sufferers smile

What are these things made of?

I have a very good idea for a product (based on this material) that would solve an age old problem for millions of people all over the world.

Bloody cheats!!

Not only do they get make-up to cover up spots/bad skin, but they also get tights to pull their fat in.

Why the hell would you want to wear tights? Unless you're thinking of doing a Robin Hood and stealing from the MPs to give to the poor?

When I've protected it I'll tell you smile

I don't think I've seen anything similar in the market place actually.

Next question; how do I make a bit of cash from what could be a very effective medical use for this stuff?

not as easy as you might think....you need in vitro data to show theory behind your claim, then trial data showing that the theory holds up in practice. Depending on how 'invasive' your medical thing is you'll need to be registered as a device or medicine and then go through the joy of pricing reimbursement with the NHS tariff setters...then get it registered on pharmacy systems...then get medics to prescribe or use! to make s success of it you'll need serious medics to endorse and champion it probably....
if it's good, however, and you do go through the above pain....you stand to make a LOT of money....(for example, E45 cream does abt £1.2m/month on the NHS in addition to all the OTC sales....

Interesting.

Actually I've had a butchers in some of the catalogues I have and there are similar products that claim to do what I'm thinking of, but they are all reasonably pricey.

I'm a Podiatrist and we see loads, and loads of folks with very dry skin on the feet. This can be a serious complication for uncontrolled diabetes or people with reduced tissue viability, skin can crack and become infected, limbs can end up coming off etc etc.

A lot of these people are physically unable to apply an emollient, which if applied daily can virtually eliminate the risk of fissuring and improve skin condition no end.

What I'm thinking of is a bed sock, made from your "stuff" - you bob it on at night and it rehydrates the skin. The pop sock could be put on using one of the multitude of devices available. If the material works without any additional cream to apply and can be comfortably worn in bed then people might use it.

It all depends what your tights are made of though and do they actually work to rehydrate the skin??

I'm in a position where I could physically conduct a small clinical trial too. I work for the NHS - we see 25000 people a year in Leeds. That's a lot of folks with problem dry skin.

no part of me feels stupid that I explained how to sell to the NHS to someone who works there wink

Ignore the tights..that's just what Boots have chosen to do and they've gone for a lightweight retail variant.

The technology is a biotech copolymer which can be applied to pretty much any fabric. I'm looking into bamboo at the moment cos it's just a fantastic yarn - very very comfortable, very soft, long thread (less irritation for already irritated skin) and naturally anti-bac and anti-fungal (though to a varying degree)...and it's so so much better ecologically (yes Im ghey) Our tech then adds a whole lot more which I'll detail in email

awesome re: a trial.....I honestly think this could be of huge benefit to your patients....certainly everyone who has got hold of some to date has become pretty evangelical about it smile

Don't feel stupid mate, I know nothing of the NHS supply chain system, it's an entity that takes lifetimes to understand. Email me some info, it might be something I can do as part of my professional development, if nothing else.

Cheers.
