ULURU Inc. Announces A Publication In The International Wound Journal On A Clinical Study Using Altrazeal®
ADDISON, Texas, Aug. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ULURU Inc. (OTCQB: ULUR), today announced the publication in the International Wound Journal of an article titled, "A prospective, randomized study of a novel transforming methacrylate dressing compared with a silver-containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose dressing on partial-thickness skin graft donor sites in burn patients."
This controlled randomized study was conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center evaluating Altrazeal® compared with Aquacel Ag, the market leading silver containing dressing. Patients were treated with both products on 2 separate donor sites. Donor sites treated with Altrazeal® experienced statistically significant less pain at three different time periods (2-5 days, 6-10 days and 11-15 days – P < 0.001). Patients also reported greater comfort with Altrazeal® (P < 0.001). These findings are considered to be clinically beneficial as pain and patient comfort are major issues in donor site management.
Commenting on the publication, Kerry P. Gray, President and CEO of ULURU, stated, "Having a published controlled randomized study using Altrazeal® against a market leading product is very significant and adds great credibility to Altrazeal®. Many marketed wound care products are not supported by clinical data of this quality. The study's finding of a significant reduction in pain is very important as numerous painful wounds, including venous leg ulcers, are difficult to treat due to patient compliance issues associated with pain and discomfort. This controlled study also confirms the vast amount of anecdotal evidence we have had reported on pain reduction. To further enhance the data supporting Altrazeal®, we intend conducting additional controlled studies to demonstrate clinical benefits for patients and cost savings for the healthcare payor."
