Derma Sciences Announces First Commercial Sales of BIOGUARD(TM) Barrier Dressings
Date:6/23/2009

ll into the many reimbursement-constrained areas of healthcare. These early sales enabled us to quickly initiate our evidence generation program, which further helped to drive sales into areas of healthcare not constrained by HCPCS codes, such as hospitals. Having codes for BIOGUARD in place so soon, along with the rapid sales traction we have gained with this new product, points to another very successful product launch for Derma."

ABOUT BIOGUARD(TM) Barrier Dressings

BIOGUARD(TM) Barrier Dressings provide a barrier to bacterial contamination while also providing > 5-log (99.999%) average reductions of common pathogens within the dressings. The active component of the dressings, a non-toxic high molecular weight cationic polymer - p-DADMAC - is patented for use in wound dressings and a variety of other fields by Quick-Med Technologies, Inc (QMDT.OB). Derma Sciences entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Quick-Med for the use of the technology in gauze-based dressings in 2007. BIOGUARD dressings are distinct from other currently available antimicrobial dressings in that they continue to exhibit their high level of activity even in the presence of wound fluid and blood, and also in that the active component is non-leaching. Leaching antimicrobials can exit the base substrate dressing and potentially lead to interference in wound healing as well as to the creation of resistant strains of pathogens. Currently, the market for antimicrobial dressings is estimated to be greater than $200 million in the United States and is one of the fastest growing segments within the $4.1 Billion US market for advanced wound care products.
