Derma Sciences, Inc. – Booth #809

     Derma Sciences, Inc. is specialty medical device/pharmaceutical company focused on advanced wound care. Over the past several years, we have launched innovative products to the market including MEDIHONEY®, XTRASORB™, and BIOGUARD™. These products are helping clinicians to progress stalled wounds towards healing, manage highly exuding wounds more effectively, and manage bioburden more effectively and cost-efficiently. We are committed to assisting clinicians in their challenging work dealing with chronic wounds by developing products to help PREPARE – PROMOTE – and PROGRESS.

     In 2010 we have several new line extensions, including our first adhesive MEDIHONEY dressing, our new XTRASORB Foam dressing, and our new BIOGUARD Conforming Bandage. The NPUAP has recognized active Leptospermum honey in their new pressure ulcerguideline, and we are confident that our MEDIHONEY adhesive dressing will be a significant new tool in the management of pressure ulcers. XTRASORB Foam will provide best-in-class characteristics for foam dressings. It will absorb more fluid than any other brand of foam dressing on the market, it will retain more fluid (by converting the fluid within the dressing into a gel and locking it place away from the wound bed) and will help to keep the harmful components of wound fluid away from the patient.
