Madison, WI, April 22, 2019– Imbed Biosciences, a developer of advanced biomaterials and soft tissue repair devices, announced today that clinical results documenting the use of its flagship product, MicroLyte® Ag resorbable antimicrobial wound matrix, will be presented at the Spring Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in San Antonio, TX from May 8-10, 2019. The company will also have a presence in the exhibitor space at booth #133. SAWC is the nation’s largest interdisciplinary wound care forum.
The poster presentations, delivered by several of Imbed’s clinical collaborators, will highlight results in a variety of complex, chronic wounds and surgical applications. The clinical case series were conducted independently at the Institute for Advanced Wound Care (Montgomery, AL), East Tennessee State University (Johnson City, TN), and Premier Surgical New Jersey (Brick Township, NJ) and typically evaluated wound closure after application of MicroLyte® Ag Matrix to leg ulcers, surgical wounds in diabetic patients, and various chronic colonized wounds.
“The latest round of work that our clinical collaborators will share at SAWC continues to exemplify the tremendous wound healing capacity that MicroLyte® Ag Matrix possesses. The clinical outcomes associated with the use of MicroLyte® Ag Matrix have the profound ability to change people lives,” said Ankit Agarwal, President and CEO of Imbed Biosciences. “We are excited to continue to work with these collaborators and others with the goal of assisting in healing many types of acute, chronic, and surgical wounds.”
Dr. Ryan Chatelain will prominently feature MicroLyte® Ag Matrix in a podium presentation on May 9 at 2:55pm entitled “The Efficacy of a Synthetic Bioresorbable Synthetic Antimicrobial Matrix as an Implantable Material for At-Risk Surgical Wounds”.
Additional SAWC poster presentations of interest during the SAWC Poster Gala from 7:15 to 8:45pm on May 9 will include:
The Use of an Absorbable Polyvinyl/Polymeric Microfilm Matrix with Silver in the Treatment of Venous Ulcers: A Pilot Study
Terry Treadwell, MD; Donna Walker, LPN; Maggie Taylor, NA; Angela Pickens, RN; Jessica Baker, RN
Institute for Advanced Wound Care, Montgomery, AL
Use of an absorbable polyvinyl alcohol polymeric microfilm matrix loaded with silver helps to reliably heal chronic colonized wounds
Dr. Jarrod Kaufman, MD
Premier Surgical New Jersey (Brick Township, NJ)
Dr. Chatelain will also present his clinical findings during the SAWC Poster Gala on the evening of May 9.
Additionally, SAWC Exhibit Hall visitors will get an up-close look at Imbed’s groundbreaking, FDA-cleared MicroLyte® Ag Matrix, a fully-resorbable antimicrobial wound matrix. MicroLyte® Ag Matrix is primarily composed of an ultrathin, resorbable polymeric film, which means it never needs to be removed from the wound bed. MicroLyte® Ag Matrix is also fully synthetic, so there is no risk of disease transmission from animal based-components and it has a long shelf-life under ambient conditions (2 years or more). MicroLyte® Ag Matrix is cleared for application in acute wounds such as lacerations, skin tears, abrasions, surgical wounds (e.g., donor and graft sites, incisions), partial thickness first- and second-degree burns, and partial to full-thickness dermal ulcers such as, diabetic, decubitus, venous stasis, arterial stasis ulcers. The product may be applied daily or up to every 3 days, depending on the wound and the healing progression. The duration of the treatment depends on wound type and healing conditions.
