Derma Sciences Launches Two New MEDIHONEY(TM) Fo...(ger amount of time thus reducing the cha...),Health

"We have already come a very long way in establishing MEDIHONEY as a strong up-and-coming brand in the United States and Canada" Quilty added. This week's Wound Ostomy and Continence Nursing annual conference held in Orlando was a huge success for Derma Sciences. Awareness of the brand is very strong among clinicians, and we should see a spike in an already impressive rate of clinical evaluations. The addition of these new formulations, especially the patented Honeycolloid dressing, adds to the brand and further distances us from any other potential competitors."

All major distributor customers have loaded the new products into their information systems, and sales to them will begin immediately.

About Derma Sciences

Derma Sciences is a global manufacturer and marketer of advanced wound-care products. Its key product, MEDIHONEY, is sold throughout the world by Derma Sciences and Comvita New Zealand -- the licensor of the patented honey-based technology -- and is the leading brand of honey-based dressings for the management of wounds and burns. The product has been shown to be effective in a variety of wounds and burns, and was recently the focus of a large-scale randomized controlled trial on leg ulcers. Derma has two products in development: the BIOGUARD(TM) line of barrier gauze dressings, and DSC127, the company's novel angiotensin analog for accelerated wound healing and scar reduction. The barrier technology was licensed from Quick-Med in Q1 of 2007 and is pending its initial FDA marketing clearance. DSC127 was licensed from The University of Southern California in Q4 of 2007 and is entering into a Phase II study, with anticipated initial patient enrollment to begin in Q3 of 2008.
