GATWICK, UK - Wednesday, May 15th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE/ME NewsWire)-- New evidence presented on Wednesday 15th May 2013 at the European Wound Management Association (EWMA)’s conference in Copenhagen, revealed that elevated protease activity (EPA) was detected in almost half the wounds (43%) that resulted in skin graft failure1.

In the thirty patient study carried out and presented by Prof. Franck Duteille MD, Head of Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, University Hospital, Nantes, France, three out of four (75%) split thickness skin grafts failed in wounds that tested positive for EPA immediately prior to performing the graft procedure1 . This confirms EPA as a highly predictive marker which could help surgeons target skin graft procedures more effectively and thus increase their success rates.

"Systagenix’ WOUNDCHEK™ Protease Status is the only commercially available point of care test able to detect EPA” comments Paolo Di Vinc ... Read more »
