Positive clinical outcomes showcased in poster presentations and satellite
symposium
PRINCETON, N.J., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Derma Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DSCI), a provider of advanced wound care products, announced today that eleven clinical posters detailing the clinical usage of its newly released MEDIHONEY(TM) Wound & Burn Dressings with Active Leptospermum Honey will be presented at the upcoming 3rd World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS) conference. This conference, being held in Toronto on June 5-9, takes place every four years and brings together the global thought leaders on advancements in wound care. Additionally, the company has announced that a one-hour satellite symposium will discuss the benefits of Active Leptospermum Honey and its role in advanced wound care.
Chairman and CEO Ed Quilty said, "The clinical outcomes evidence
generated thus far for MEDIHONEY since the product's launch late last year
has been exceptional. It is now becoming clear that the dressings are
beginning to serve an important role as clinicians' first choice for wounds
that have not progressed with standard care, making up roughly 50% of all
chronic wounds. The eleven posters being presented at the WUWHS showcase
the variety of wound types being treated successfully with MEDIHONEY. This
evidence, combined with the satellite symposium, should have great impact
on the conference attendees, and will contribute to the ramp up of global
sales of the product."
