In addition to the commercial sales and marketing presence for Altrazeal™ at the joint conference, several other wound care professionals are presenting clinical evidence and best clinical practice for Altrazeal™. Six posters will be presented detailing clinical practice including clinical and pharmacoeconomic benefits in home healthcare, pain management in patients with venous leg ulcers, treatment of peristomal wounds, and combinations of Altrazeal™ with negative pressure wound therapy. These presentations further add to the extensive clinical data that has been developed to support Altrazeal™.
Kerry Gray, President and CEO of ULURU, stated, "We continue to make great strides developing clinical data to support Altrazeal™. By focusing our efforts on education for clinical professionals, who are important decision makers in the treatment of wounds, we believe that Altrazeal™ will be more rapidly adopted as a standard of care. We have great confidence in the significant benefits that Altrazeal™ provides both patients and health care providers including pain management, decreased cost of care, and reduced nursing interventions for the treatment of chronic wounds."
