Continuing the Mission: Supporting Care Through Collaboration

Steven Latiolais - Honduras - 10 9 26 Blog

Nuance Medical is pleased to continue collaborating with Steven Latiolais, DDS, by providing additional topical anesthetic products to support his dental mission team’s upcoming trips to Honduras.

The team is planning two trips in 2027, including a January 9–16 visit to Intibucá through the Honduras Baptist Dental Mission and another to Potrerillos. In Potrerillos, the team has worked for 15 years with a community whose school serves 620 children. Dr. Latiolais reports that the team has seen marked improvements in oral hygiene over that time.

Following last year’s donation, Dr. Latiolais shared that the dentists particularly appreciated using the single-use topical anesthetic swabs, which eliminated the need to repeatedly dip into shared jars. That feedback adds a meaningful connection to our continued support, helping us understand what the team values as they prepare to provide care.

We’re honored to support healthcare professionals whose commitment to these communities continues year after year. Through this ongoing collaboration, Nuance Medical is proud to play a part in the team’s work to bring dental care to Honduras.

BIOCORNEUM® Expands Scar Care Portfolio with New Mineral SPF 30 Silicone Scar Gel

Mineral with Lamp

Sun protection is an essential part of scar care, yet it can easily become a separate and sometimes overlooked step. BIOCORNEUM®, a Nuance Medical brand and the #1 plastic surgeon-recommended scar management gel, has introduced BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30, a new dual-action silicone scar gel that combines clinically trusted scar technology with broad-spectrum mineral sun protection.

Designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin, the lightweight, fast-drying formula helps soften, flatten, and reduce redness while helping protect healing skin from UV-related discoloration.

Advanced Scar Care and Daily SPF in One Step

BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 brings SiliShield® crosslinked silicone scar technology and non-nano zinc oxide together in one easy application. It joins the original SiliShield SPF 30 formula, expanding the BIOCORNEUM portfolio with a mineral sun protection option for consumers and healthcare professionals.

Key product benefits include:

Clinically Trusted Silicone Scar Technology

Formulated with SiliShield crosslinked silicone technology, BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 is clinically designed to help soften, flatten, and reduce redness and hyperpigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Broad-Spectrum Mineral SPF 30

Non-nano zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 defense to help protect healing skin from UV exposure that can contribute to discoloration and prolonged scar visibility.

Designed for Sensitive Skin

The mineral formula is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is compatible with daily skincare regimens and cosmetics.

Fast-Drying, Flexible, and Water-Resistant

The lightweight gel dries quickly, forms a flexible silicone layer that moves with the skin, and provides 80 minutes of water resistance.

Versatile Scar Support

Suitable for new and mature scars resulting from surgical procedures, injuries, and burns, including scars on areas that flex and move often, such as joints.

Why Sun Protection Matters in Scar Care

UV exposure can make a healing scar appear darker and remain more visible over time. Pairing silicone scar management with daily sun protection helps support a smoother, more even-looking recovery while making SPF a built-in part of the routine.

BIOCORNEUM Mineral SPF 30 streamlines that routine by delivering scar care and mineral UV defense together in a single step, helping support consistent daily use.

Designed for Everyday Recovery

The fast-drying gel fits easily into post-operative skincare and cosmetic routines. Its flexible silicone layer moves with intact skin, making it well suited for scars in areas that bend and move throughout the day.

With the addition of Mineral SPF 30, BIOCORNEUM offers another way for individuals and healthcare professionals to match scar care with different skin and sun protection preferences.

Nuance Medical Partners with the American Breast Cancer Foundation to Support Patients Across the Care Journey

ABCF

Nuance Medical, the parent company of BIOCORNEUM® and Biodermis®, is proud to partner with the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) as part of our commitment to supporting patients throughout their healthcare and recovery journey.

Breast cancer care doesn’t begin or end with a single appointment. Early detection, timely diagnosis, treatment, and recovery all play an important role in helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes. Through this partnership, Nuance Medical and ABCF aim to connect individuals with both preventive care resources and recovery support.

Supporting Early Detection and Access to Screening

The American Breast Cancer Foundation is a national nonprofit dedicated to making breast cancer screening and diagnostics accessible to everyone. By helping remove financial and systemic barriers to care, ABCF provides direct assistance, bilingual patient navigation, and educational resources that help individuals access critical services when they need them most.

Through the organization’s Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP), eligible applicants can receive financial assistance for essential screening and diagnostic services, including:

• Up to $200 for screening mammograms
• Up to $250 for diagnostic mammograms
• Up to $250 for breast ultrasounds

The program supports individuals of any age or background and is available to people with or without insurance. Applications are typically reviewed within three to four business days, helping patients move quickly toward the care they need.

Connecting Patients to Resources Throughout Their Journey

In addition to screening support, ABCF’s Educational Patient Advocacy Program (EPAP) helps connect individuals at every stage of the breast cancer journey with trusted resources and organizations that support treatment, recovery, and long-term care.

Through this partnership, Nuance Medical may be listed as a trusted resource for individuals seeking education and guidance related to post-procedure recovery and scar management.

Supporting Recovery and Scar Care After Breast Cancer Procedures

For many individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment, procedures such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and port placement can result in visible scarring that continues to evolve throughout the healing process.

Nuance Medical’s scar care portfolio, including BIOCORNEUM silicone scar gel and Epi-Derm® silicone sheeting, is designed to support healthy collagen remodeling and help improve the appearance of scars as the skin heals.

As part of our ESG commitment, Nuance Medical will support ABCF by providing educational resources on scar recovery, guidance on post-procedure scar care options, and in-kind product support for individuals navigating recovery. This support will include complimentary scar care products from our portfolio, with an estimated annual retail value of up to $2,000. We will continue to evaluate additional opportunities to support ABCF and the patients they serve as needs arise.

By working together, Nuance Medical and the American Breast Cancer Foundation aim to help patients access both the preventive care they need and the recovery support that helps them heal with confidence.

Introducing SiliSilk™: Everyday Silicone Scar Care, Simplified

Biocorneum20258956

At BIOCORNEUM®, we believe scar recovery should fit seamlessly into everyday life. That’s why we’re excited to introduce SiliSilk™, a clinically proven, 100% silicone gel without SPF designed to give patients and consumers greater flexibility in how—and when—they care for their scars.

Created by the expert teams behind BIOCORNEUM and Biodermis—Nuance Medical companies with more than 30 years of leadership in silicone scar management—SiliSilk delivers professional-grade silicone therapy in a lightweight, non-greasy gel ideal for daily use.

Why Silicone Still Sets the Standard

Silicone is globally recognized as the most recommended topical, non-invasive treatment for scar management, according to international clinical guidelines. It’s trusted by clinicians for its ability to support healthy healing and help prevent abnormal scar formation.

SiliSilk builds on this gold-standard technology with a non-SPF option, making it especially ideal for:

  • Indoor wear
  • Areas covered by clothing
  • Times when sun protection isn’t needed

With its silky texture and fast-drying finish, SiliSilk fits effortlessly into daily routines, no stickiness, no shine, no disruption.

The Benefits of SiliSilk

Creates an Optimal Healing Environment
SiliSilk™ forms a breathable, oxygen- and moisture-rich barrier that supports the skin’s natural repair process. This protective layer helps prevent and minimize the development of abnormal scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Silky-Smooth, Invisible Wear
The lightweight gel dries quickly and clear, allowing makeup or clothing to be applied once dry. It’s comfortable for use on the face, neck, joints, and other high-movement areas.

Versatile for a Range of Skin Concerns
SiliSilk™ is effective on both new and old scars resulting from surgical and cosmetic procedures, trauma, wounds, and burns. It may also help improve the appearance of stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles.

A Comfortable Alternative to Silicone Sheets
Acting like a flexible, breathable “second skin,” SiliSilk eliminates the need for tape or bulky silicone sheets—making scar care easier, more discreet, and more comfortable.

Expert Perspective

“Our focus has always been delivering silicone scar therapy clinicians can trust,” says Kristy Matus, Vice President of Product Management. “SiliSilk extends that trusted, clinically proven technology into a non-SPF format designed for everyday recovery—giving patients more choice while maintaining the same clinical rigor.”

New Innovation in Pain Relief and Sustainability

Two cans of HurriFreeze topical anesthetic spray (medium stream and mist spray) displayed against a background of green forest trees.

Nuance Medical announced the launch of Hurri-Freeze, a groundbreaking topical anesthetic spray designed to provide rapid, safe, and environmentally friendly pain relief at the point of care. Hurri-Freeze is the first and only FDA-cleared HFO (hydrofluoroolefins) topical anesthetic spray for broad medical use. Hurri-Freeze is designed for a wide range of applications, including temporary relief of pain associated with minor sports injuries, minor surgical procedures, and injections, as well as blood draws.

Hurri-Freeze offers significant advancement in topical anesthetics with its unique formulation, providing a colder performance and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) that is 99% lower than traditional HFC topical anesthetic sprays.

Key benefits of Hurri-Freeze include:

  • Faster and Colder Pain Relief: Hurri-Freeze delivers superior performance, providing faster and colder relief than conventional topical anesthetic blends.
  • Safety First: It is non-toxic, HAZMAT-free, non-flammable, and cleared for use on intact mucous membranes and minor open wounds.
  • Environmentally Friendly: With a 99% lower GWP than HFC topical anesthetic sprays, Hurri-Freeze contributes to a reduced environmental impact.
  • Versatile Application: The 360° spray allows for easy dispensing at any angle, and it is available in both mist and medium stream spray pattern options.
  • Economical: Hurri-Freeze offers cost savings compared to competitor products.

Hurri-Freeze is designed for a wide range of applications, including temporary relief of pain associated with minor sports injuries, minor surgical procedures, and injections, as well as blood draws, minor open wounds, and pain relief from burns, insect bites or minor cuts. With a quick onset, the anesthetic effect typically lasts for approximately one minute, allowing healthcare providers to perform procedures with enhanced patient comfort.

“Hurri-Freeze aligns with our commitment to developing innovative healthcare solutions that prioritize both patient well-being and environmental responsibility,” according to Mark Steele, President of Nuance Medical. “It delivers effective pain relief while minimizing environmental impact, providing a safer and more sustainable alternative for healthcare providers.”

Hurri-Freeze is classified as a Vapocoolant Topical Anesthetic. A vapocoolant topical anesthetic is a fast-acting, non-invasive spray used to provide temporary pain relief by rapidly cooling the skin. When applied, the spray evaporates quickly, producing an immediate numbing effect by lowering the temperature of the skin and reducing nerve conduction. Vapocoolants are commonly used for minor procedures such as injections, IV starts, or minor wound care, and are valued for their ease of use, speed, and patient comfort. They are particularly useful in point of care settings where quick, localized pain control is needed without needles or systemic medications. Therefore, Hurri-Freeze is the most environmentally friendly option among vapocoolant topical anesthetics.
