ADDISON, Texas, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ULURU Inc. (OTCQB: ULUR) today announced the publication, in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, of an article, titled, “Bacterial Growth Kinetics Under a Novel Flexible Methacrylate Dressing Serving as a Drug Delivery Vehicle for Antiseptics.”
The article describes the investigation of the antimicrobial efficacy and influence on bacterial growth kinetics in combination with three antiseptics in an in-vitro porcine wound model. The study demonstrated that a methacrylate dressing (Altrazeal®) applied into an experimental wound as a powder, which then transforms into a flexible, wound-contouring dressing, can be combined with a number of antiseptics and serve as a drug delivery system for antimicrobial compounds. Depending on the antiseptic chosen, bacterial load can be controlled up to 5 days (length of the study) and controlled non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial effect may be achieved using the same type of wound dressing.
Commenting on the publication, Kerry P. Gray, President and CEO of ULURU Inc., stated “This is an important publication for the Company in a peer reviewed journal. This opens new possibilities for topical antimicrobial treatment and prophylactic strategies in wound care management. Clinicians have experienced favorable clinical results using antimicrobials in combination with Altrazeal®. This could represent a major advancement in controlling microbial contaminants in acute and chronic wounds and avoid, in many cases, the use of antibiotics.”
