This is a large, rapidly expanding group of markets with a very high incidence of diabetes. Altrazeal® represents a cost effective alternative for the treatment of diabetes related and other acute and chronic wounds prevalent in the region, including trauma. Training for a group of influential physicians has already been conducted in Vienna, Austria which, together with the in the market clinical experience, places our partners in a strong position for the market introduction of Altrazeal® throughout the territory."
In addition, Altrazeal® has received regulatory approval in Singapore after an extensive review process. This is an important milestone as this is the first Asian market to approve Altrazeal®. With this approval Altrazeal® is now approved in the United States, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore and Afghanistan.

Extending the marketing network to include these new territories with a large population base is a further recognition of the clinical and economic benefits of Altrazeal®. We anticipate that these territories will generate significant revenues for the Company in the near term. With the further expansion of our marketing activities, we are generating additional exposure for Altrazeal® which benefits all our global partners. Although Singapore is a relatively small market, it is an important reference market within Asia with a well respected rigorous regulatory process. It is anticipated that this approval will lead to additional regulatory authorizations within the South East Asian area."
