Derma Sciences Launches Two New MEDIHONEY(TM) Formulations
Date:6/26/2008

Additional products will provide coverage for most wound types

PRINCETON, N.J., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Derma Sciences (OTC Bulletin Board: DSCI), a provider of advanced wound care products, announced today that it is launching two new formulations of its key product line, MEDIHONEY(TM) Wound & Burn Dressings, this week.

Additionally, although decreasing the pH of a wound has been proven to have significant healing benefits, quickly reducing the pH of a wound can cause slight transient stinging in a small percentage of patients. This happens with several popular wound care products including enzymatic debriding agents and honey-based dressings. With the Honeycolloid formulation, even though it is comprised of 80 percent honey, the pH modulation takes a lon
