AcryMed is touting their latest innovation in wound healing: Dissolved oxygen delivery, via their Oxygenesys system:
“Our research shows that these new devices deliver significant amounts of dissolved oxygen, which is the biologically relevant form” said Dr. Bruce Gibbins, Founder and Chief Technical Officer at AcryMed. “We conducted studies on human donor skin to show for the first time that through Oxygenesys TDO, sufficient oxygen penetrates deep into tissues to make up for the oxygen deficiency that may be encountered in chronic wounds. The results show that this new technology delivers significant amounts of oxygen to the wound site and even permeates the skin tissue at a rate that is at least 3 times higher than the level delivered by blood. These lab findings were extended by wound healing experiments in which Dr. Roe showed that wounds in animals healed faster with oxygenated dressings than with plain dressings. We are now eager to determine if this benefit occurs in patients.”
We’ve covered O2 delivery to wounds before, with the award-winning EpiFLO system — already approved by the FDA. AcryMed delivers dissolved O2, sure, but they still have a ways to go before they’ve demonstrated benefit over EpiFLO.
