AvantGuard, Inc.

The team was thrilled to be back at the RESI Boston Innovator's Pitch Challenge (IPC) with Life Science Nation this year! 🎉 Our CEO, Ted Eveleth, had the incredible opportunity to showcase our groundbreaking antimicrobial work. The IPC provided a unique platform to engage with a panel of dedicated investors, receive real-time feedback, and gain valuable insights.

It was an exciting experience to be part of a community driving innovation in life sciences. We’re proud of the progress made and look forward to what’s next for AvantGuard!

September was a busy month for AvantGuard! Our CEO, Ted Eveleth, attended the Disease Prevention & Control Summit America, where global leaders gathered to address the future of infectious disease prevention. It wasn’t just about learning—it was about collaborating and sharing our own groundbreaking work in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

At AvantGuard, we’re not just keeping up; we’re leading the charge with innovative technologies that tackle resistant pathogens. We're proud to contribute to these critical conversations and bring new ideas to the table as we continue our mission of advancing global health.

As football season kicks off, keeping athletes safe on and off the field is more important than ever. Did you know that sports can be ideal environments for the spread of bacteria and viruses?

Sweating during games can lead to moisture build-up, promoting the growth of harmful microorganisms. Infections like MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are a serious concern in sports communities. By regularly cleaning sports gear, sanitizing locker rooms, and prioritizing personal hygiene, we can help protect athletes and staff.

AvantGuard's innovative antimicrobial technology has the potential to transform sports’ safety by being applied to equipment or used as a temporary coating, keeping surfaces germ-free for longer. This not only reduces infection risks but also cuts down on cleaning costs.

Imagine a world where everyday personal care products offer enhanced protection and freshness. AvantGuard's cutting-edge technology holds the potential to transform oral mouthwashes, deodorants, soaps, and even preservatives for creams and color cosmetics. By integrating our advanced antimicrobial solutions, these products could provide not only improved efficacy but also longer-lasting protection.

As we advance, AvantGuard is committed to exploring these exciting possibilities to elevate your personal care routine. Stay tuned for updates on how our innovative technology could redefine hygiene and safety in your daily life.

A perfect storm is brewing in global infectious diseases.

Today:
– Healthcare-acquired infections cost society $25-40 billion annually.
– Fungal infections affect over a billion people every year.
– Climate change is exacerbating these threats.

Tomorrow:
– By 2050, drug-resistant pathogens could claim more lives than cancer.
– Climate change will continue to drive the rise of fungal infections.
– Drug resistance is on the rise, threatening our future.

Continuing with current options is a losing game.

But what if we could harness our body's natural response to prevent and treat infectious diseases without causing antimicrobial resistance? The future of infection control may be closer than we think. Stay tuned as AvantGuard explores innovative solutions that could change the game.

Biofilms significantly contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, especially in healthcare facilities. These complex communities of bacteria and other microorganisms adhere to surfaces and create a protective matrix that shields pathogens from antibiotics and disinfectants. This protective barrier not only makes infections harder to treat but also accelerates the development of resistance, posing a serious threat to patient safety. AvantGuard's innovative solutions, are designed to break down and eliminate these resilient biofilms, ensuring that pathogens – and their resistance mechanisms – are effectively neutralized. Discover how we’re pioneering new ways to safeguard healthcare environments.

At AvantGuard, we're paving the way for a future where advanced antimicrobial technology is accessible to everyone—from healthcare experts to families at home. If our cutting-edge solutions are designed to meet the rigorous demands of hospitals and wound care, imagine the peace of mind they could bring to your everyday life.

We’re excited to envision a world where AvantGuard's innovations protect the spaces and surfaces you interact with daily. Stay tuned as we work towards making this future a reality!

Understanding the difference between cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing is key to maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Here’s a quick guide:

– Cleaning removes dirt, germs, and impurities from surfaces but doesn’t necessarily kill them.

– Disinfecting kills most germs, including bacteria and viruses, on surfaces.

– Sanitizing reduces bacteria to levels public health codes or regulations consider safe.

Remember:

1. Not all disinfectants kill all germs. Always check the label for effectiveness.

2. Disinfection claims vary, so choose products carefully.

3. Residual protection is ideal. Look for solutions that provide longer-lasting protection without chemicals that easily wipe off.

Regularly clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and follow product instructions for the best results. Stay safe!

As we honor the hard work and dedication of individuals everywhere, AvantGuard is here to lighten your load with our innovative technology. Whether it's at home, in the workplace, or out in the community, our solutions tirelessly create cleaner, safer spaces for you.

Quats, commonly found in public spaces like schools, gyms, and grocery stores, pose a public health problem. These chemicals are in many cleaning products and can be harmful. Make a difference by raising awareness in your community. At home, avoid quats by checking labels for ingredients like benzalkonium chloride and opting for non-antibacterial cleaners. Soon you can choose safer alternatives like AvantGuard for effective and gentle cleaning.

Discover the difference with AvantGuard: It's not just about surface protection – it's about your safety. While other solutions claim to prevent mold and bacteria growth, AvantGuard goes further by actively eliminating harmful pathogens. Our advanced technology provides ongoing defense, ensuring both surface integrity and personal well-being.

Avoid misleading claims. Biostatic protection inhibits microorganism reproduction but doesn't always eradicate contaminants. AvantGuard stands apart, prioritizing effective pathogen elimination to keep environments safe.
