Innovations, LLC, a subsidiary of Wound Management Technologies, Inc., (WNDM),
announced today a published case demonstrating the efficacy of their advanced
wound care collagen product, CellerateRx(R). The case was presented in the
November/December 2008 issue of Podiatry Management in the special section,
Diabetic Wound Care Management on the Leading Edge: Case Presentations from
APWCA, APWCA Case #1: Using Combined Treatment Modalities for Successful Wound
Healing. The case was by Jane Fore, MD, a board certified internist and

healing of challenging wounds.
"We are very excited about the unsolicited case published in this month's
edition of Podiatry Management," states Cathy Bradshaw, President of Wound
Care Innovations. "Diabetic foot wounds with infections can be complicated
and can require multiple approaches to treatment. This case demonstrates the
biocompatibility of CellerateRx(R) in supporting the successful take of living
skin equivalents and the delivery of antimicrobials when used in combinational
therapies. The article further reports CellerateRx's(R) effectiveness in
treating tunneling wounds, and is easy to use. Packing and unpacking these
tunneling wounds can be very painful for the patient. CellerateRx(R) is
biodegradable and does not need to be removed from the wound. We are delighted
to be able to provide to the market a unique, patented advanced wound care
collagen product to assist in the management of these difficult wounds."
Diabetic wounds are problematic for patients and a drain on the healthcare
industry. In the United States, it is estimated that 15-20% of diabetics will
develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime and that 14-24% of these ulcers will
result in amputations. Every 30 seconds a leg is lost to diabetes somewhere
in the world.
CellerateRx(R) is FDA cleared for acute and chronic wounds which include
but are not limited to: diabetic ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, ulcers due to
arterial insufficiency, pressure ulcers stages I-IV, surgical wounds,
traumatic wounds, superficial wounds, and 1st and 2nd degree burns. It comes
in two forms, a powder which is about 95% collagen, and a gel which is about
65% collagen, and contains no additives or synthetics. CellerateRx(R) is
manufactured in the United States.
