Fe3 Medical

Fe3 Medical is a medical technology company that developed a novel transdermal patch for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). A spin-off from InCube Labs, the company utilized iontophoresis technology to deliver iron ions through the skin and directly into the bloodstream. This method was designed to bypass the gastrointestinal tract, thereby eliminating the severe gastric side effects often associated with oral iron supplements while avoiding the complexity of intravenous infusions. The company's lead program successfully completed a Phase 1/2a clinical study, demonstrating controlled delivery of iron with a favorable safety profile. Despite promising early clinical results, the company has been inactive in recent years.
