New Study Shows PuraPly® Antimicrobial Positively Impacts Course of Healing Across Variety of Wound Types
The case series, “Use of Native Type I Collagen Matrix Plus Polyhexamethylene Biguanide for Chronic Wound Treatment” was conducted by
“The purpose of this case series was to assess the extent to which PuraPly AM helped meet wound-specific treatment goals on wounds that had not responded to conventional therapies, likely due to bioburden,” said Dr. Oropallo. “Our findings show that Puraply AM indeed appears to positively impact the course of healing across a variety of complex chronic wounds, resulting in a wound environment that is conducive to wound area reduction and complete wound closure. We shared results of two subsets of wounds in this study at the 2018 Symposium on Advanced Wound Care.”
Of the 41 wounds studied, 73% demonstrated a reduction in wound area at 12 weeks. Thirty-seven percent of the wounds studied achieved complete wound closure, with a mean time of 6.7 weeks to complete closure.
“This case series confirms what many clinicians already know firsthand: PuraPly AM is an innovative and important technology in the fight against non-healing wounds,” said
“An increasing body of clinical evidence demonstrates that appropriate use of PuraPly AM can lead to improved wound healing outcomes, which should allow patients to achieve a better quality of life in a shorter time frame,” said
