MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Covalon Technologies Ltd, (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV), an advanced medical technologies company, today announced that it will be promoting its world class products and technologies at both MEDICA and at WOUNDS UK this week.
"We are very excited to be back at MEDICA in 2014 with our patented line of professional skin care, advanced interactive wound care, and infection control products, some of which, will be showcased for the first time in Dusseldorf," said John R. Hands, Senior Director of Marketing at Covalon. "Medica is a great opportunity to introduce new, innovative products, connect with existing customers and hundreds of medical companies that can become new partners for Covalon."
ColActive Transfer, the world's only interactive wound contact layer will be the centerpiece of this year's Advanced Wound Care line-up. "Protecting fragile granulation tissue while simultaneously providing bio-activity to stimulate wound closure is an enviable competitive advantage, especially with the growing popularity of treatments like Negative Pressure Wound Therapy" Hands continued.
Covalon's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Val. DiTizio will be presenting multiple scientific posters at WOUNDS UK, demonstrating the superiority of the Company's dual antimicrobial clear silicone adhesive technology. In November, 2013, Covalon announced that it had granted Molnlycke Health Care the exclusive rights to exploit Covalon's patent-pending antimicrobial silicone adhesive technology in the field of single-use surgical, wound care and vascular access medical dressings. Dr. DiTizio will be presenting the scientific posters in support of Molnlycke Healthcare's marketing efforts of Covalon's technology.
MEDICA, the world's largest medical technology trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany, runs from November 12-15th and hosts 4,500 exhibitors from 70 countries. Covalon's booth is located in Hall 16, Stand G42.
