We are Team heat it®
How everything began...
The brilliant idea originally came about in 2017 during a student competition. Fed up with mosquito bites, we tried out the treatment using concentrated heat and were immediately convinced by the active principle, but not by the available products. Too clunky, never with us and inflexible! So we decided to take the development into our own hands.
On an itch-free mission
Insect bites can be treated effectively with heat, but sting healers must also be available in a "smart" way. With this incentive, our 4 founders began to develop an innovative medical product while still studying engineering. Now we are Kamedi GmbH - a dynamic startup from Karlsruhe with our own development and production.
