DR Innovations , LLC DBA Sensiband

Sensiband is an at-home metal allergy testing kit designed to identify skin sensitivity to metals commonly used in medical implants and procedures before surgical implantation. The product consists of seven metal test discs inserted into a silicone wristband that patients wear for 7+ consecutive days to detect contact dermatitis reactions. Founded by orthopedic surgeons, Sensiband addresses a significant clinical gap: patients undergoing joint replacements, dental implants, cardiac devices, arterial stents, and orthopedic hardware often experience post-operative complications that may stem from undiagnosed metal allergies. By enabling pre-procedure testing similar to patch testing in dermatology, Sensiband helps patients and clinicians make informed material selections, potentially reducing adverse outcomes and improving surgical success rates. The company markets direct-to-consumer kits targeting patients preparing for orthopedic, cardiac, and dental procedures.
