About Our Advanced Skin Solution
Discover the research, innovation, and commitment behind Viniferamine® skin and wound care technologies.
The Dignity of Being Cared For
There are moments in life when we must place ourselves completely in the care of another person. To care for us in moments we would once have managed privately for ourselves. In those moments, care becomes about far more than the body. We believe every patient deserves to emerge from care feeling better than they did before—cleaner, calmer, more comfortable, more confident, and more at peace. Not simply because their skin has been cared for, but because they have been cared for. This is the Viniferamine® patient experience.
Built on Science, Driven by Better Care
Our history is built on scientific discovery, not marketing trends. Throughout our journey, we have developed breakthrough technologies that have helped create and support major medical brands for industry leaders such as Medline, 3M, Acme United, and Hollister.
These collaborations have helped millions of patients benefit from products built on rigorous research, thoughtful formulation, and a commitment to quality.
Patient Care Comes First
At the heart of every innovation is a simple philosophy: the patient always comes first.
Every ingredient, formulation, and product is developed to help clinicians deliver better care while making treatment easier for healthcare professionals. We understand the challenges faced by nurses, physicians, therapists, and caregivers, which is why we create solutions that combine scientific advancement with practical everyday use.
The Science of Our Medicine
Repairs the Body
The Humanity of Our Medicine
Restores the Person
Throughout history, medicine has been defined by its ability to understand disease and develop increasingly effective treatments. Every generation of scientists and clinicians has contributed discoveries that have transformed human health, from antibiotics and vaccines to advanced biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and precision therapeutics. These achievements represent some of humanity’s greatest accomplishments because they repair damaged tissue, control infection, relieve suffering, and extend life. The science of medicine repairs the body.
Yet every clinician knows that patients remember something beyond the science. Long after laboratory values have normalized and wounds have healed, people remember how they were treated. They remember whether someone listened, whether they felt respected, whether their fears were acknowledged, and whether they were cared for as individuals rather than as diagnoses. These experiences cannot be measured as easily as clinical endpoints, but they shape the meaning of healing.
Two questions should therefore be used to judge every healthcare product. First, does it perform its intended clinical function safely and effectively? Second, does it improve the patient's experience of care? The finest products accomplish both. Viniferamine® delivers scientific performance while preserving a patient’s confidence, comfort, and hope.
Our Mission
To develop scientifically sound products that improve health while maintaining the highest standards of quality, consistency, integrity, and customer confidence.
Our Vision
To be recognized as a trusted scientific organization whose products, partnerships, and quality systems establish a benchmark for excellence in healthcare and wellness.
Quality Philosophy
Quality is designed into every formulation, every specification, every supplier relationship, every manufacturing process, every laboratory result, and every customer interaction. It is built through discipline, documentation, evidence, and continuous learning rather than inspection alone.
Guiding Principles
• Patient and customer well-being guide every decision.
• Scientific integrity outweighs convenience.
• Quality decisions are evidence-based.
• Documentation provides objective proof of quality.
• Suppliers are partners in the quality system.
• Risks are identified and managed proactively.
• Continuous improvement is expected, not optional.
• Transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct are essential.
Science That Supports Healing
Scientific excellence is the foundation of Viniferamine®. Our research combines decades of experience in:
• Wound Healing
• Skin Health
• Biomaterials
• Mineral Science
• Formula Chemistry
Through this expertise, we develop products designed to address the challenges of compromised skin and chronic wounds while supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Our Foundation
McCord Research was founded on the belief that scientific innovation and uncompromising quality are inseparable. Quality is not an activity performed at the end of manufacturing; it begins with scientific inquiry, continues through product development, supplier selection, manufacturing oversight, laboratory verification, and extends throughout the product life cycle.
A Legacy of Innovation
More than 35 years advancing skin and wound care technologies.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Technologies developed for products supporting organizations such as Medline, 3M, Acme United, and Hollister.

The Future of Care Through Innovation
The future of medicine may not be defined solely by discovering new molecules or designing more sophisticated technologies. It will also be defined by remembering that every innovation ultimately serves a human being. The greatest breakthroughs will be those that combine scientific excellence with compassionate design, ensuring that patients feel valued as well as treated.
The highest calling of medicine has never been to repair tissue. Its highest calling is to restore people—to preserve dignity when independence is threatened, to offer comfort when life becomes uncertain, and to remind every patient that illness does not diminish their worth.
