The EpiFLO® device has demonstrated the ability to effectively treat chronic wounds by delivering a sustained stream of oxygen directly to the wound bed, resulting in closure of many wounds that have previously failed standard wound care and other adjunct therapies.
According to Dr. Sarang Sarangapani, President of Ogenix, "Oxygen therapy within wound care has evolved rapidly in recent years and will soon be considered as part of the standard treatments of many types of wounds. Our device, The EpiFLO®, has been responsible for the closure of many wounds that had resulted in scheduled amputations. Not only has it averted many such amputations, it has completely closed these wounds in an average of 8 weeks time."
The Ogenix exhibit will enable health care professionals to view the device and discuss its role in wound care treatment with company executives.
