The leadership for Medwell is comprised of over 20 years of hands-on surgical experience as a surgical technologist in the Air Force, guiding orthopedic and neurosurgeons for Johnson & Johnson technical devices as a product expert and consultant, and providing business development strategies as a specialist for various manufactured products and managing the hospital supply chain processes.

Greg Fenton, CEO of Zentek commented: "As we navigate the FDA approval process, we continue to diligently identify and secure partners in the healthcare space where we anticipate stable and growing demand for surgical masks. The United States is the world's largest market from a healthcare spending perspective - and with Medwell's well-established sales channels and eligibility for significant and growing supplier diversity opportunities - our ZenGUARDTM Enhanced Surgical Masks are well positioned to bring an added level of protection and unique value proposition to Medwell's customers and the U.S. healthcare system."
