PolyNovo is pleased to announce that the Royal College of Surgeons of England have published Professor John Greenwood’s 2016 Hunterian Lecture. This paper outlines the evolution of burn care and the potential shift in patient care through the development of NovoSorb BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix). The paper can be viewed HERE.
This article provides a very good overview of PolyNovo’s NovoSorbTM BTM development and the steps taken to ensure product safety and efficacy. The NovoSorb polymer has outstanding biocompatibility and is unique in that it is a biodegradable polyurethane. We feel this may be useful for investors to understand the development of NovoSorb and its current and future applications.
The NovoSorb polymer, in its various forms, is the basis of PolyNovo’s medical devices. We have prototype NovoSorb materials in non-clinical testing now. These materials are designed to be used in Breast and Hernia products expanding our market reach by offering surgeons novel, safe and biodegradable products to address their clinical needs.
CEO Paul Brennan said, “We are excited that NovoSorb BTM has been acknowledged in such a prestigious Surgical Journal through John’s pioneering work. Our NovoSorb polymer enables clinicians to deliver novel and game changing treatments for surgical wounds and burns with significant clinical improvement. We look forward to continuing our work with John developing his cultured skin, grown on a NovoSorb substrate, to complete the transformation of care where skin grafts may be obsolete”.
NovoSorb BTM is currently on sale in the US, South Africa and New Zealand and we are pursuing others for launch.
