So, what ignited this marvel? A family business driven by the potential to transform the medical consumable supplies market and fueled by its astounding clinical success. 

With a passion for making a difference, Cerdak was born to change the lives of those suffering from wounds.

But, it hasn't been an easy journey. Breaking into the competitive medical device arena posed its challenges, navigating through rigorous regulatory hoops and scientific scrutiny. 

However, Cerdak's determination prevailed, and now, they stand tall, with 90% of production exported to Europe and Australia.

Yet, they dream bigger. In the next 3-5 years, Cerdak aims to be a global player, championing non-medicated wound treatments. 

Their technology has the power to bind and remove bacteria while optimizing the healing process – a critical solution in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

To get there faster, Cerdak seeks to expand their local market reach, demonstrating how affordable and consumer-friendly their dressing truly is. Creating more jobs and bolstering opportunities for local companies is an added bonus for the KZN economy.
