OUR STORY
We’re ASCLEPII
Our company name, Asclepii, pays homage to "Asclepius," the Greek God of Wound Healing. Asclepius was known as “a healer of all wounds” and was able to bring people back from the brink of death. We aim to empower everyone to be able to do the same.
When he was 13, our CEO and founder Franco began working on “Project Asclepius” after he began his first job working for a lab at the University of São Paulo called Nucel. When Franco was 16, his mother decided to move to Chile for a better life, but he stayed behind to continue his work because he felt his role in this project wasn’t over. We continue our work collaborating with the brightest minds in the world.
Arnold Caplan: A pioneer in the Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering field, the “father of mesenchymal stem cells”, creator of the world’s first FDA-Approved Cell Therapy, and Mentor to Franco and Miguel.
Franco continued his research under Dr. Caplan at CWRU. He chose CWRU and Cleveland because of Dr. Caplan, knowing few in the world rivaled his expertise in the field. Dr. Caplan passed in 2024, but his work and legacy lives on. We dedicate our work in remembrance of him.

FAQs
Why protect a clean wound instead of treating it?
Because prevention is faster, safer, and less painful. Poseidon™ forms a protective barrier that keeps wounds clean and moist while blocking harmful microbes. That means fewer infections, less scarring, and quicker healing for you.
Does Poseidon contribute to antibiotic resistance?
No — and that’s a big deal.Unlike antibiotic creams, Poseidon™ doesn’t create resistance. You get protection without fueling one of today’s biggest medical problems.
Can Poseidon cause allergic reactions like some topical antibiotics?
Zero allergic triggers. Many antibiotic ointments contain ingredients like neomycin that can irritate your skin. Poseidon™ contains only four ingredients (water, silver, sodium hydroxide and hydrogel) so it’s safe even for sensitive skin.
Why use silver instead of antibiotics?
Because silver works smarter.Antibiotics fight inside your body, while Poseidon™’s nanosilver acts only where it’s needed — on the wound surface. That means strong protection without side effects.
Poseidon advantage: Its silver nanoparticles have shown effectiveness in lab tests against E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus (including MRSA), Candida, and Aspergillus.
How is Poseidon’s silver different from other products?
It’s more effective with less exposure.Our nanoparticles are the perfect size and shape to fight microbes at just 10 ppm — compared to 30–10,000 ppm in other dressings. You get the same power with far less silver on your skin.
What role does nanotechnology play in Poseidon?
It’s the secret to precision. Nanotechnology makes Poseidon™’s particles uniform and highly active, so they spread evenly, cling where they’re needed, and stop microbes more effectively.
Is Poseidon a hydrogel or an emulsion?
A hydrogel — and that matters. Hydrogels lock in moisture, soothe pain, and create the ideal environment for healing. Emulsions can’t do that. Most silver and antibiotic products on the market rely on oily, sticky gel-like compositions that leave residue on your skin and can cause side effects. They’re often packed with additives you can’t even pronounce — like triethanolamine, hydrosol, or zinc acetate. Poseidon™ is different.
• Colorless, nearly odorless, dries invisible
• No need for gauze or bandages
• Gentle on skin — non-abrasive, won’t sting or burn
Why is Poseidon simpler than other products?
Because you don’t need to overthink it. Just apply, cover if needed, and go. No messy stains, no harsh chemicals, and no side effects. Healing made easy. 96% of patients are infection free within 8 days.
