FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Wound Management Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WNDM) announced today that its subsidiary Wound Care Innovations LLC recently added the Veterans Health Administration facilities in Temple, Texas, and Gainesville, Florida, as new customers of Cellerate RX® Activated Collagen™. These new customers mean that CellerateRx® is now being used by Veterans Health Administration facilities in Texas, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin and California. Physicians from the Denver and Miami VA hospitals recently published case studies on the clinical effectiveness of Cellerate RX®, which have supported the organic proliferation of this product line within the VA health system. In addition, Wound Care Innovations, LLC exhibited at the second annual Save A Limb, Save A Life conference in Orlando, FL September 2-4. The Save A Limb, Save A Life Foundation's goal is to reduce the number of lower extremity amputations and to improve the quality of life for citizens who are afflicted with wounds, complications of diabetes, and peripheral artery disease. One of the Friday morning sessions was "The Role of Collagen in Wound Healing" by Dr. Gary Rothenberg, Director of Resident Training, Attending Podiatrist, Miami VA Healthcare System, and included information on the unique characteristics and benefits of Cellerate RX® in the management of diabetic wounds. "It makes sense to me that if collagen is the key component of skin and we are trying to get a wound to epithelialize with skin, that we should definitely be using a collagen product like Cellerate," states Dr. Rothenberg. "I love having both the powder and gel form available to use with my patients. I have definitely seen increased compliance and efficacy with Cellerate RX® because of the unique feature of having both the gel and powder forms available to me as a clinician."
