Mydent International

Mydent International is not a drug or biotech platform company; it is a well-established manufacturer of dental infection control and disposable products, with a global reach. Through its DEFEND brand, it offers a large portfolio of infection control and dental supply products, serving more than 45 countries. Its product line, sold primarily under the DEFEND brand, includes face masks, disinfectants, wipes, surface barriers, and antimicrobial garments. It has had an innovative role in infection control within dental and healthcare settings, but does not operate drug/device clinical programs and does not focus on pharmaceutical or therapeutic research. It does not operate in therapeutic drug or device development but focuses on manufacturing and supplying products for infection control, prevention, and routine dental practice use. In January 2018, the company was acquired by Young Innovations, which continues to operate the DEFEND brand and portfolio.
