Medical Science Liaison – California

AVITA Medical® is a therapeutic acute wound care company focused on transforming how patients heal. We develop and deliver innovative technologies that harness the body’s own healing capabilities to accelerate recovery and improve clinical outcomes.

Our flagship technology, RECELL®, uses a patient’s own skin to create Spray-On Skin™ at the point of care, enabling faster healing for patients with serious wounds, including burns and trauma. In the U.S., we also bring forward advanced wound care solutions such as Cohealyx® and PermeaDerm®, expanding our ability to support clinicians across the continuum of care.

At AVITA Medical, we are united by a shared purpose: to help patients heal faster - and to make a meaningful difference when it matters most.
