Our Story: How MedFresh Was Born

It’s bad enough you have to hobble around in a clunky boot or awkward brace, catching curious stares from strangers and kids pointing out, “What happened to your leg?” But then, a week or two in, you get a new, unwelcome surprise—the smell. The kind that makes you think twice about propping your foot up at a friend’s house or riding in someone else’s car. You shouldn’t have to suffer twice.

That’s exactly why we created MedFresh Odor Eliminator for boots and braces.

The Science Behind the Freshness

This isn’t just another cover-up spray. MedFresh uses Odor Absorbing Molecule (OAM) Technology—a breakthrough in medical odor control developed by Paul Anderson, a chemical engineer who spent decades perfecting some of the world’s most well-known products. In his early days at Procter & Gamble, Paul learned how fragrance and odor molecules interact while working on iconic brands like Febreze. He discovered something surprising: most odor eliminators don’t actually eliminate anything. They simply wrap odor molecules in a chemical cocoon, temporarily masking the smell but leaving the real problem behind.

Paul knew there had to be a better way. He wanted to create a formula that truly eliminates odors at the molecular level, without harsh chemicals, enzymes, or cover-up perfumes.

From Lab Tests to Real Life

Paul’s first breakthrough came while developing odor solutions for law enforcement, military personnel, and athletes—people who really know what it’s like to sweat. The first commercial success was Arrest My Vest, a spray designed for bulletproof vests and tactical gear that trap sweat and body odor like few other materials can. It worked so well that word quickly spread, and the formula found its way into the homes of everyday people struggling with everything from gym bags to pet beds.

From Vests to Boots

After perfecting his formula for some of the toughest odor challenges, Paul set his sights on the medical world. He knew patients recovering from injury deserved the same level of odor control. So whether you’re hobbling through your kitchen, navigating stairs like a baby giraffe, or just trying to make it through a physical therapy session without your gear announcing your arrival, MedFresh has your back (and your foot, ankle, shoulder, or knee).

It’s not just a solution—it’s a fresh start for your recovery.
