Veraflo Therapy, in combination with either of the two approved dressings, offers a therapy that is clinically proven.

Studies also showed that the therapy can reduce the length of hospitalisation and pave the way for cost savings for the healthcare system compared to traditional wound care options.

The University of Texas Southwestern plastic surgery department and orthopaedic surgery department professor Dr Paul Kim said: “As comorbidities rise, wound healing is getting more complex.

“Solutions that help reduce the number of surgeries and accelerate healing time not only help improve patient recovery but also lower the total cost of care, creating a more efficient delivery of care for health systems.”
