About

Monarch Labs: Your Source for Advanced Wound Care
Products and Biotherapeutics

Monarch Labs was incorporated in September, 2005, as a producer and distributor of biotherapy medical products. The first and flagship product was Medical Maggots, originally studied at the University of California (UC Irvine) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA Medical Center, Long Beach, CA). After marketing clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the production of Medical Maggots by the UC Irvine Maggot Therapy Laboratory was privatized by Monarch Labs.

In 2023, the name of our Medical Maggots™ product was changed to Medicinal Maggots™ and Creature Comforts™ product to Sheer Comfort™.
